55-60k Intel rig

So if I can maintain case temp low with some cable management and case fans can I skip after market cooler?

Will post the result of this once I get on pc.

ran cinebench 11.5 as suggested and got this result:

didnt understood how to record via HWinfo so ran real temp when was running that test and max temp raised to 68C

So how are the results?

I am using i7 4770k and the stock cooler was enough for me up to 4.2ghz overclock for doing gaming and daily activities like browsing.Running cinebench pushed the core max into the 90's whereas while gaming it would go max 80 which is ok considering the tj max.

Since you have a locked i5, stock cooler is enough for you for gaming, browsing and other daily stuff.Just don't run prime95 or any stress test applications on it as they put unrealistic loads on the cpu which will never happen in daily activities.

So basically the results i got are normal?

simple go to user cp(controll panel) check options on left side.

Played half life 2 for around 2 hours and maximum temperature raised to 62. So considering it's not much cpu intensive game are the temp fine? And Btw what is tjmax?

tjmax is the maximum core ie the silicon chip under the cpu heat spreader temperature limit of cpu.
