Ripthruster · Jan 2, 2011

Found this article on Benchmarkreviews.com regarding how cool the new sandy bridges run. In it they claim to have a 2600K running OC'd @ 5.2 on a cheapie $26 air cooler.

68*C load on an aftermarket cooler? Let me know when they can get that with the stock cooler.

Well, some review sites got it to 4.4 or so on the stock cooling but no mention of temperatures.

Kinda makes sense why Intel would make OCing harder then, if they run that cool...
