If this applies, your i5 is likely running at an overclocked level. With the current environment around 30°C on average, I recommend upgrading to a fan with improved airflow and pressure. The existing Scythe fan operates at just 51.17cfm and only manages 1.05mmh2o of pressure—far too low to effectively dissipate heat from your CPU cooler. Consider switching to a budget-friendly Arctic PWM fan or investing in a high-quality Noctua NF-A12x25 Chromax. Your current setup may be throttling the CPU speed unnecessarily, which could reduce its lifespan and prevent you from fully benefiting from overclocking. While temperatures might not exceed 100°C at maximum junction, lower temps would improve performance and stability.

Where did you notice signs of throttling? Overall, the CPU is designed to operate up to 100°C and remain functional within the warranty timeframe. Unless heavy workloads like rendering or code compilation are expected, it shouldn't overheat significantly. For gaming, temperatures will be 10-20°C lower.

You're using your PC mainly for gaming with no video editing or coding. That puts your worst-case temperature around 80°C. Your CPU temperatures are typically 10–20°C lower than that.

I understand. I'm testing it inside an ITX case with the NR200P, and using Arctic P12 fans. Perhaps replacing one and moving it to the CPU cooler would help.

It's reasonable to expect performance boosts when overclocking an Intel CPU. However, we shouldn't assume extreme temperatures like 100°C for an i5 processor. Intel's built-in safeguards will activate—either reducing speed or stopping the CPU to prevent damage. This should help you feel more confident about your setup.

If that Acrtic P12s model runs at 1,800 rpm with a 56.3CFM and 2.2mmH2o flow, it offers significant advantages. The limitation is that if it's the 3-pin version, you can't adjust the speed—so it stays in full-speed DC mode. However, it remains quieter than your current fan even at maximum speed, delivering 2.4dBA lower noise.

At 30°C, the expected high is about 80°C. The CPU temperature should rise about as the room temperature increases, meaning at 40°C it might reach around 90°C. Those scenarios seem unlikely in the Philippines.
