If I don't plan to overclock this CPU will the stock heat sync/fan be sufficient?

I'm seriously considering buying this cpu. I have a APEVIA X-CRUISER-AL Silver Steel ATX Mid Tower with 3 fans (one on top flowing out, one on the backside next to the cpu blowing out and one in the front of the case blowing out). I have a GEForce 750 Ti, which also runs fairly cool, even while playing Sims 3. Do you think the stock fan would be sufficient?

Stock cooling will do just fine. I have mine slightly over clocked and no worries. Just make sure you have good air flow through your case.

No. I didn't do any overclocking, but my CPU ran up to 60 Celsius, which is too high for my taste at least. If I were you, I'd play it safe and get a Cooler Master Heat Sink, cause it will make the CPU last longer.

Only if you have decent airflow in the case. It is a really tiny fan and it doesn't move much air. If you have great airflow in the case which encompasses the cpu region, then you should be fine.

yeah, definately good enough... i overclocked to 4.5ghz with the stock cooler.

The factory fan comes with a heat sink "square", and it will eliminate the need for thermal paste. That being said, it can't hurt to apply more, especially if you plan to overclock or tax the processor. So, you won't NEED to buy thermal paste, but for the minimal cost of the paste, and the significant dollar outlay for the processor, it sure couldn't hurt.

The .3ghz won't make a huge difference. Both get incredibly hot, so a high quality cpu cooler is necessary.

This always depends upon what you nave to do with it. By the way, since it is not overclockable and its frequency clock is moderately high, I think you can easily keep its stock cooling fan (like as I did)

As said, it really depends, particularly on how long and hard you are running the chip. You could almost certainly get it to 4.3 GHz or greater with the stock cooler in a stable manner but beyond that it depends. If you were to run it in short bursts, you could overclock it higher, but running it under heavy load at a very high clock rate (such as with test/benchmark programs) would overwhelm the cooler within minutes.

I'm going to assume this is a real question from someone who is a congenital smart-aleck. If you are an Intel partisan, you have probably overreached your limits. With that preamble, this is a 220W processor. You must be prepared to dissipate at least that much heat. You will need a heat-sink that is rated accordingly. On the other hand, if you have modern software, it will monitor the CPU usage and reduce resources appropriately. Underused, or unused cores will be parked, processing speed will be reduced until the percentage of processor utilization goes up to certain thresholds, and fan speed will be reduced to appropriate levels. I use these CPU's for both desktop units and servers, usually as a hyper-v host (of varying vendors) and it is nice to be able to run serious virtualized environments without having the host come to its knees. In a non-gaming environment, these processors usually do not produce nearly as much as most of the video cards out today. In my environment, they rarely kick off enough heat to even rev up the fans. If you are going to put these in a 4U box, you will have problems finding a heat-sink that will handle the potential heat. If you are an over-clocker, I would be wary of the potential extra heat (in excess of 220W) that might be generated due to running outside the specified range of these devices. That probably puts you in the liquid-cooled category. If you stay within the specified operating range there are standard coolers that will work just fine (including the boxed cooler, for those models that come with heat-sinks). My policy is to never over-clock since I use these for real work. A reboot caused by a hang and the potential for lost data is simply not worth the few extra cycles per day that overclocking will get me.

Yes it comes with a stock heat sink. You do not have to buy an aftermarket/cpu cooler/heat sink. It is not likely to have over heating problems. This cpu is locked and can not be over clocked.

Stock cooler is fine. It's noisy, though. It may also depend on your case set up - you might have less air flow in your case and/or maybe running Crossfire or SLI with 2 hot GPUs. I have since bought a Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO, which is awesome. I have a Coolermaster HAF Tower, so I have good air flow in my case naturally. In any case, I doubt you'll have over-heating issues with the stock fan and heatsink without overclocking it.

None, only at 100% fans speed (force set by after market software). You won't hear it under your CPU cooler - be it air or water cooling.

Yes! Be sure to use cpu thermal heatsink grease! "Caution" when using a lower grade cooler failure is at a higher risk!

The Boxed Processor as shown has the stock fan & heatsink. It is fine as long as you don't plan to Overc lock. If you do, then you would need a third party cooler.

if it's the 1150 compatible than it should you might run into memory clearance issues I used the hyper 212 evo and it was close as far as the heat spreaders not touching , got about 1/8" to 1/4" clearance with the 212 with the 212 and a 4770k had it OC'd to 4.4ghz and it only got to 60*c running Prime95 for 12 hours

i wouldnt suggest OC on stock heatsink. the EVO 212 looks similar to what i got (Arctic Freeze 7 pro), i have my system OC at 4Ghz and in a full tower case i get no more that 55 C during the summer (in oklahoma we have high humidity for the summer), and now with winter set in it stays sub 45 C

BTW go with an aftermarket cooler for that 8350, i have the exact same cpu and it runs quite a bit hotter then any cpu i've ever owned but if you can manage to keep it nice and cool its performance will amaze you.

It does very well. The increased air flow over the cpu is significant. It should work well unless you are going to really, really overclock.

No,just get this card and you can add your own watercool or other fans then overclock.
