    Haswell high temps? Case fan setup? CPU heatsink setup error? Some help here!

    Guys, I managed to OC the CPU to 4.3 via ASUS's software. I got 100C! But ASUS software mentions that when using Prime95, Aida etc, you may see extremely high temps. Should I tests this setting with Far Cry 3 for instance and check the temps? Is there apossibility to reach load conditions...

    Haswell high temps? Case fan setup? CPU heatsink setup error? Some help here!

    I think that in my case, Prime95 works differently compared to Intel's utility. I mean rime 95 may use tests that torture the CPU with different kind of operations and despite the fact that it loads to 50-60%, in reality is stressed more.

    Haswell high temps? Case fan setup? CPU heatsink setup error? Some help here!

    Guys I came across a weird situation. I stress test the CPU with intel tuning utility. At 100% load the temps rise up to 68-70. With Prime95 and under 50-60% load, i get temps of 78-80C. I just don't get it :)

    Haswell high temps? Case fan setup? CPU heatsink setup error? Some help here!

    Thank you all for your replies. Yesterday I noticed a terrible mistake. I placed the fans of the CPU cooler to blow downwards instead of upwards into the case! Now I get 3-4 degrees lower temps. Still while running Prime95, my CPU hits 63% load and temps rise to 80C. How can I set Prime95 to...

    Haswell high temps? Case fan setup? CPU heatsink setup error? Some help here!

    Ok guys thanks. I'll give it a good testing before buying anything else like case fans and watercooled CPU heatsink. I will have to also "experiment" with my motherboard settings for overclocking right? Shall i delete motherboard software though?

    I have z87-deluxe mothrboard. It supports 4 fan controllers and 2 cpu fan controllers. Regarding the 4 case fans, the three are reporting their speeds and the other one doesnt. The two of them run at about 1000RPM and the other at about 600RPM and the GUI shoes the speed in Red.

    Haswell onboard HD4600 vs ATI Radeon 4870

    It is the 1GB version guys regarding the GPU. Noob question: Do you really need a GPU for HTPC or is it CPU demanding only? I think I'll go with the old GPU. The only concern is the DX11 no support from the card? Would it be needed if I don't play any games? Thank you
