I've just moved from a FX6300 to a intel I5 4680K and surprised how poor intel stock cooler is. I was able to keep the AMD processor cool and quite at stock even though it has higher energy usage and I'd modded the fan to a lower voltage. Meanwhile the intel cooler seems to be struggling, at load, to keep the CPU temperature under control even at stock speed, and it makes a racket when doing this.

Glad I've order a new heatsink.
 
I understand stock cooler are meant to be cheap and therefore not very good. It just seemed odd that AMD stock cooler was able to keep my FX6300 cool and quite even with a minor overclock while the more energy efficient intel cooler, gets hot an makes a racket at stock when under load.

I have checked the voltage of the CPU 1.10
