Hi all, atm i don't have a stock cooler on there but it might as well be, atm i ahve my CPU running at 3.29Ghz on an xfx 780i mobo,

at this very moment in time i have the fan on the cpu running at 3.3K RPM

the temps are:

Core0 = 42
Core1 = 36
Core2 = 45
Core3 = 45

Playing Games maxed out i get an average of 58 lowest being 54 and max being 60 on all 4 cores put together, so i was wondering is these temps ok for that speed? whats the max? and also what cooler would you recomend for best cooling?

thanks :)
 
OCZ Vendetta2 are a great cooler for Quads,,, also the Xigmatek HDT series are just as good,, with the Crossbow Mounting Kit even better for Both Xiggy and OCZ
 
thanks jolly, a bit ago i was considering an xigmatec but what should i be looking out for perticualry with cpu cooling?
