It's true that the CX-919/QuadCore don't have a big heat Heatsink, like the Metal-External-Cover on the QX1? Does the CX-919/QuadCore gets hot with normal use? I am a little worried, because I am located in Miami/Florida, where the temperature is warm...

Hi, The CX-919 do have heatsink, but frankly speaking, the QX1 which has metal-external-cover is better, however, you don't need to worry about the heat, because each device we sold already tested before we ship, we run 24 hours to test the heat and system performance, so it won't too heat to use.

It keeps my 4670k around 40 to 50 degrees Celsius under load. It should keep your 9590 in about the same temp range because I always run mine in the silent preset in the software. You'll probably hit spike of 60 to 70 degrees just because that cpu is the hotter than sun though.

I'm not sure, I just recently made a PC for a buddy of mine with this CPU and its driving me crazy. But his was a super budget build and parts that I had to assemble weren't the greatest, but still I'm getting some what the same temps. I told my buddy about the temps, and how I felt like they were a bit too high so he bought a Corsair H75 CPU fan, which I just installed last night, and even though the loads were really wacky, and not normal. It pretty much says the same temps your getting, and now my buddy even has a CPU cooler on the CPU. Funny part is, the cooler is totally blowing out cold air (comparing, my main gaming pc, which blows out hot) this CPU cooler GOTTA be working. But honestly, I have no idea, I'm trying to understand this CPU myself, I thought I did research everything, but it seems that people online are reporting that this CPU reports wrong temps in pretty much ALL temp programs for Windows. Everyone is saying look at the BIOS temps, which is only idle though. To continue on if it helps you, here's just a recent question I asked Amazon buyers, I did ask several community sites online but didnt find much help.

I own the A10-5700 and it cools the APU pretty good. I have not looked at the temps in a while, but I believe it was the high 40s C° when streaming.

No problems with over heating. I've been playing a couple games (dirt 3 maxed, skyrim medium - high, borderlands high, assassins creed 3 medium high) all with little to no lag. And I've seen 65*C on rare occasions after a couple hours . Idk about it overclocking or how it works. Hope this helps

I got mine up to 4.7 and kept it below those temps under load with the stock AMD closed loop liquid cooler. At 4.4Ghz mine stays under 55C under load, At 4.7 it stays around 65c under load, and at 5.0Ghz it can get as hot as 75c under load. 4.7ghz is 100% stable but 5.0ghz isn't exactly stable but I haven't done a ton of tweaking with the voltages and my cooler is only the AMD 120mm closed loop liquid cooler in push-pull so it's not top of the line by anymeans. Keep in mind just because mine acts this way it doesn't mean everyones will, every piece of silicon is different and there are so many variables such as what cooler you have, how good of airflow you have, how well you applied the thermal paste, and what kind of thermal paste you're using.

It helps if you're doing any significant overclocking. I run mine at 1.1GHz and some high voltage level that I don't remember offhand, and without heatsinks I couldn't do that with stability. Even at lower clock speeds, the 10-20 celsius difference can make you "feel" better, although I don't know how much of a realistic difference it will make in terms of functionality and useful lifetime.

I have had my XPS 8700 for a few months and it doesn't run hot at all. It does get used a lot with a teenage by and three younger siblings.

I got this one because the fins on the heatsink push the heat out of the case vs the gigabyte which blow the heat onto your motherboard and into the case. Not a big deal if you're cooling your CPU with outside air but I have watercooling that blows case air across my radiator and then out so I didn't want to heat up my case unnecessarily.

In the overview it says the fan turns off when not needed. The powersupplies does not put out the heat others do. Best bet for better ansewer go to the Amazon site under the Corsair HX Professional series 750, and look in the overview it will go over it better than I can. THanks for wrightting. Randy PS I relay like mine a lot.

I just cancelled my Amazon order for the VSX-1019. Great reviews on Cnet, sure, but I've read complaints about the power really being 90 watts and, more importantly for me (cos its going into a enclosed unit) about the 1019 running really hot. Can anyone comment on the VSX-9040 re runnimg temperature??

Hello Cecil, I will speak to you as a user and not a geek. Even though the AMD9370 FX Black is an 8 core unlocked processor if you are not using for overclocking you can use the AMD heatsink fan that normally comes with the chip from AMD. That processor in retial package does not come with the heatsink fan so you will need to go to a place that sells them as you can not buy direct from AMD. I for one have been doing this since the FX processors were released. I use the processing power to do graphics and racing games like need for speed and it works and functions well with the factory cooling. Consult the motherboards manual for proper bios settings before using any processor to make sure all are set for optimum performance - we are not talking about overclocking here. However if you are going to run games especially multiple player games a lot I suggest getting a liquid cooling system like Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus - CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heatpipes found at this url: http://tinyurl.com/ygzwrbj. Only suggestion there is double check your clearance with the size of the heatsink with your motherboard setup. It should be fine. Warning to anyone trying to overclock the cpu: Understanding that AMD processors run on the hot side when under heavy duty use- always go to a high quality liquid cooling system or gas because once you start overclocking the heat is going to increase radically and you need a way to pull that heat off of the processor quick enough so it does not fry your processor.

In terms of the PCB and the physical chip itself and its performance potential? No. I don't think so. However the only obvious difference I see is in the heat sync/fans and after owning mine for almost a year now I can say I've never had problems with mine overheating.

unless your experenceing extreme heat (180F+) you have nothing to worry about the macbook pro's processors throw off some heat, currently I'm at 113F just on http://amazon.com. If the heat bothers you i suggest smc Fan control free software works great! but the computer's motherboard, logic board, processor, hard drive, ram all is constructed to withstand heats well above 180F i personally have had my mac up past 200 degrees that i7 loves to get hot but the fans do a good job at maintaing an ok temp so all in all in your fine dude.

The cooling on this card is sub-par. Runs at around 68c-81c It runs fairly hot for its performance. Still a good bang for your buck.

Hello Eric.No, this product doesn't come with a heatsink right out of the box, and for one simple reason: it comes with all the multipliers and frequencies unlocked so it can be "extremely" over clocked, which requires advanced cooling solutions. One solution that works pretty well, and keeps this beast cool and running is the Corsair H100i water cooler.

I'm not familiar with the X875 series so I don't know how bad the cooling problems were with that series, but my tests on my X75 don't show any major problems (see my review). What I did was run FurMark on it for about 3 or 4 days any time that I wasn't using the laptop to see if it experienced any problems, and I didn't encounter any. This is with the laptop sitting on a wooden table and an ambient temperature of around 72F. I did do some testing to see if a cooling pad would improve performance (the GPU will automatically slow down to keep itself cooler than 80C), and I found that 1) it only improved performance by about 10%, 2) it didn't matter if the fan in the cooling pad was turned on, and 3) simply setting the laptop on top of four 1/2" dice (using them as small plastic blocks to put it "up on blocks") had the same performance improvement as the cooling pad. Even with the cooling pad, the FPS drops slightly (something less than 5%) once the GPU heats up (after maybe 10 seconds). So technically the GPU performance is "thermally limited" as it doesn't have the cooling capacity to run continuously at 100%, but the drop in performance is 1) very slight, even under the worst load and 2) barely noticeable in the benchmark and not noticeable at all to me in real-world use (games) where the capacity is not maxed out all the time the way it is in a benchmark. So I don't even bother to use the laptop with a cooling pad/blocks. Also, here is a 3DMark benchmark result for the laptop with no extra cooling: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/1387253 (this is very slightly better than their reference "gaming laptop" from 2013).
