my 18/yo brother wants to trade his h100i for my 212evo because his non-overclocked thermals are to high for his liking.. wouldn't this make them worse?
hes convinced the cooler doesn't function properly. I'm convinced he just has a hot chip.
his chip i5 4690k stock clock with turbo my chip fx8120 4.0ghz OC my
yeah i did mounting my self, it has the stock paste tho. idle is like 35C and load is 60C (he said its never been over 70 unless you stress test.) hes fine will max load he just hates that it idles so high
Those appear to be perfectly acceptable thermals... i doubt a 212 would be an improvement of any sort. Methinks his expectations are too high maybe? Idk what temps others get with that chip and cooler so I couldn't tell you.
Well 60°C on load is pretty normal for a Haswell chip. Tj-max of Haswell is somewhere arround 95°C or something like that. So there is realy nothing to worry about for you brother.
