Hello,
With a stock 3.9ghz turbo boost, I experience peak temperatures around 72°C on air cooling while playing modern games (BF5). Mostly it stays at an average of 69°C. Some forum users mention it gets extremely hot and their 4770k CPU reaches 60°C, though they don’t specify if they use water cooling. Others say Haswell CPUs run very hot but that normal air cooling temperatures are fine. Personally, I have a large 1kg radiator with a 120mm fan. What’s the truth?
I attempted to overclock to 100mhz at 4ghz, achieving stable performance at 1.180v core, but temperatures peak at 73–74°C during heavy gaming loads. At full load while loading a new map, I notice peaks lasting about a second at 80°C. I’m not sure if going beyond that is safe given these temps.
Is this typical?
Thank you

The exact cooler isn't worth much, even if it weighs 2kg, because it might be of poor quality. The pricing seems inconsistent—1kg costs 30 euros, while 100 euros is for a larger unit, which doesn't make much sense.
