[QUOTE="Digerati, post: 622512, member: 59833"] Why? What are your temps? Did make sure you removed the little plastic tape of the TIM (thermal interface material) before mounting the cooler on the CPU? OEM coolers are much better than those from years past. They have to be because only the OEM coolers are "warrantied" to provide adequate cooling by the CPU makers. And they are much quieter than they used to be too. I have the i5-6600 in this system with the OEM cooler and I am slightly overclocking. Yet my temps rarely go above 40°C. In fact, when they do, that usually means I need clean my filters. I never hear my CPU fan (except during boot) - only my graphics card fan. Note it is the cases responsibility to provide a sufficient supply of cool air flowing through the case. The CPU cooler need only toss the CPU's heat into that flow. You want a good "front-to-back" flow of air through your case. If you don't have that, adding a more efficient CPU cooler will do little good. [/QUOTE]
