My processor is an i5-3570k and my cooling system consists of my Coolermaster hyper 212 evo and my chassis fans.
The chassis I'm using is the coolermaster haf 912. I have 1 200mm (700rpm) intake fan in the front. 3 exhaust fans 200mm exhaust on top, 120mm (running 1300rpm for low noise, capable of 2k) for back exhaust and another 120mm exhaust on the side panel.
The fan on my 212 evo is pushing the air from the bottom through the heatsink and into my 200mm exhaust on the top, in other words push/pull. The 200mm intake feeds air into the lower section of my chassis. The 2 extra 120mm are additional exhaust fans simply because I wasn't sure what to do.
My case is well cable managed, I routed as many cables I could to the back and tied down loose cables and wires. there is ample space around my heatsink.
The thermal paste was applied with a pea sized drop in the center and I let the weight of the heatsink spread it.
Room temperature is 72 F
Anyways here are the temperatures. Idle 30-35C all 4 cores. Minimums hit 25C when idled long enough.
Max load on gaming 45-50C, will remain lower 50s if prolonged with intensive games.
Prime95 for 20 minutes. 50-55C. Maxed out at 56C, core #1 tends to hang around 55C, the other 3 tends to stay lower 50s, ocassionally high 40s.
I used realtemp and Openhardware as a second source to monitor my temperatures. Both read the same results.
3.6ghz at 100%, using stock turbo speeds.
Haven't tried overclocking, but I like the idea of never breaking past 55C for daily use.
Speaking of overclocking, how will I benefit with a good overclock? I do game, so it could be helpful.
I do play cpu intensive games like mmorpgs, minecraft, and skyrim. Oh and battlefield 3. Hmm how do you suppose it'll benefit RTS games.
I plan to use dual cards some day, so overclocking will help to feed the cards am I right?:biggrin:
