Hi guys,
Just purchased an i5 6600k with corsair h45 water cooler. Running at stock speeds is the following ok?

Min 23C
Max 47C - after 10 mins of gaming

Mine is running at 4.4GHz and 48C at 100% its all down to the cooler. But check the voltages as if on auto I've found that my CPU runs a lot hotter like 10C hotter

Yeah, 47C sounds fine underload for a stock 6600K while taking the 23C idle temp into consideration ;)

On a side note, the h45 has better performance than a h60? Well dun Corsair

H45 on an i5-6500 here. Idle temps around 19-22 C, full load low 40's at the most.

Didn't have the space for an air cooler, the H45 seems to do quite a good job, the original cooler would get into the 60's at full load.
