70C on Load

[Snakexor]

Using an ASRock DualVSTA mobo I am running @ 2.66 ghz with the intel stock cooler w/ AS5 and stock voltage. I reach 70C on load with ambient temps around 20C or 68F. Should i re-seat the stock cooler or should i look into after market cooling. The noise from the stock cooler doesn't bother me.

Thanks in advance!

look into aftermarket cooling if you're overclockeding

I would get an after market HSF not just for over clocking but for the life of the CPU as well.

I have this HSF for now to keep me content until i get my phase change, and it keeps my e6300 at 2.8ghz around 40c idle, does not go above 60c on load.

There is a reason why Intel is confident in selling this stock HSF with their CPUs. You wont extend the life of your CPU by using aftermarket cooling without overclocking.

Noise is a much better reason to buy aftermarket solutions.

Its estimated that every 10C you drop your CPU Temps, you effectively DOUBLE the life of your CPU.

But the cooler you get your chip, the longer it will live, and also the more stable it becomes. Noise isnt the only factor.

"It's been proposed by engineer's, an overall temperature drop of just -10C, can effectively double the life of the average processor."
