Intel core i7 6700k temperature goes as high as 60C under 40-50% load

[Saud6700]

I recently bought an intel 6700k processor. Nothing is over clocked yet. I'm using stock intel cooler (from a non-k model).

Under Idle conditions, the temp is around 30-32 C.
When under 20% load, the temp is around 50-55C and go as high as 60C under 40-50% load.
I ran Intel processor diagnostic tool. During the 4 min test, the temp went as high as 81C. The ambient here is quite high too - around 30C. Is the processor really fine (though it passed the intel processor diagnostic test)?

All fine.

Ah.. it's a relief.
BTW, sould I replace the stock cooler with an aftermarket one (no intent of overclocking anytime soon).

Replace it if you find the stock one noisy. You are fine otherwise.

Thanks. I'm going to stick with the stock cooler, then.

replace it with an aftermarket cooler, temperatures will drop.
I'm using an i7 in a silenced case, a hot apartment and a Scythe Mugen 4, my CPU barely reaches 45°C at 50% load.
a good aftermarket cooler changes temperature (and sound) drastically

Which one are you using?

using a Scythe Mugen 4 as I got it for a good price (unfortunately it blocks 1 RAM slot currently)
if you OC it, a 35$+ cooler is recommended, if you don't a cheaper cooler could do fine as well.

of course the stock cooler will do fine as well.
I just feel it's unlogical to buy one of the best CPUs on the market, probably a good board and a top end GPU as well and then go with the cheapest 3$ stock cooler there is on the market.

If you want to get a cooler, get one that will allow you to overclock at some point. The best bang for buck these days is the Cryorig H7.

I have two options:
A. I buy a cooler now. But, Ill be buying one around $25 (like cooler master 212 EVO).
B. I wait a year or so and I buy a decent one.

What should I do?

 

[Hlsgsz]

B, unless you find you current setup too noisy.

B it is.
Thanks for helping.
