I am currently thinking about getting an aftermarket cooler for my E6300. However, I want to know how far I can push it first.
On the stock cooling, I am running 3.15ghz on 1.3000V, and am getting ~70 degrees on load (temperature bound). I don't want to buy an aftermarket cooler only to find out that it maxes out at 3.20 or sth. Is there anyway I can test it? I am thinking about taking the side panel off and blow a desk fan at full power on the motherboard. Is that all I can do, though? (cheaply, using household items)
Of course, noise and dust and such don't matter at all =).
