Intel i5 6600k how hot should it run?

[steviet32]

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

That's very cool, plenty of headroom to overclock.

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

No idea at stock but at 4.6ghz mine doesn't exceed 53C max'd out on air.

No more than 30C delta over your ambient temperature assuming no overclock and at least a CM Hyper 212 cooler.

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

yeah 'h45' sounds like entry level. according to this review it does perform better than a H60

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.
