i5 8600 stock cooler

[gizmo11x]

Hey there,

can anyone confirm if the 8600 can sustain its normal turbo clocks with the stock cooler?

thanks

at what case temp/airflow? With no/poor airflow, then no as the case temp will increase and nothing will be able to cool it well enough.

Can I confirm... no, but I think you are good.
The stock cooler may be noisy under load, but it does the job.

It needs two things:
1. A case with sufficient fresh air intake to let the cooler do it's job.
2. A good mount which is not as simple as you would hope.
----------------how to mount the stock Intel cooler--------------

The stock Intel cooler can be tricky to install.
A poor installation will result in higher cpu temperatures.
If properly mounted, you should expect temperatures at idle to be 10-15c. over ambient.

To mount the Intel stock cooler properly, place the motherboard on top of the foam or cardboard backing that was packed with the motherboard.
The stock cooler will come with paste pre applied, it looks like three grey strips.
The 4 push pins should come in the proper position for installation, that is with the pins rotated in the opposite direction of the arrow,(clockwise)
and pulled up as far as they can go.
Take the time to play with the pushpin mechanism until you know how they work.

Orient the 4 pins so that they are exactly over the motherboard holes.
If one is out of place, you will damage the pins which are delicate.
Push down on a DIAGONAL pair of pins at the same time. Then the other pair.

When you push down on the top black pins, it expands the white plastic pins to fix the cooler in place.

If you do them one at a time, you will not get the cooler on straight.
Lastly, look at the back of the motherboard to verify that all 4 pins are equally through the motherboard, and that the cooler is on firmly.
This last step must be done, which is why the motherboard should be out of the case to do the job. Or you need a case with a opening that lets you see the pins.
It is possible to mount the cooler with the motherboard mounted in the case, but you can then never be certain that the push pins are inserted properly
unless you can verify that the pins are through the motherboard and locked.

If you should need to remove the cooler, turn the pins counter clockwise to unlock them.
You will need to clean off the old paste and reapply new if you ever take the cooler off.

thank you...appreciate the tips, it's been a while since I mounted a stock cooler
I am installing it for a friend and it's going into a basic case with a couple of 120mm fans (front/back)

I think it will be fine I was just curious if there is anyone who actually uses the stock cooler

Case looks ok to me.
If you can, use two 120mm front intakes.
If the front is filtered, or you can install a filter, you will have a positive pressure setup that will filter all intake and keep the parts cleaner.
Whatever comes in the front will exit somewhere, taking component heat with it.
Use nor more than a single rear exhaust fan.
If exhaust is too strong, it will draw in unfiltered air from adjacent openings.
