Hello,
Recently i have been testing my i5 6600k due to me noticing temps of up to 97C when cooled via a cooler master nepton 240m. The first test was the other day, OC to 4.6ghz my cpu reached around 97 under load from prime 95. Given my room was very hot on that day. Today i test again at 4.6ghz and i get a max of:
Then i lower my clock to see if this would change it:
It did seem to change it by quite a bit, now i have max temps of around 78 degrees, but my question is how are people able to get 4.6 with temps of 75 under load on air coolers and my nepton goes really high?
Thanks, Rob

would it be worth a cooler upgrade to a kraken x61/ switch to air cooling?
