With the stock CPU cooler my I7 seems to peak at 100C when I run Geekbench. It idles around 40 to 50 most of the time. I don't really want to switch to a better cooler. And I chose not to get a K chip.
Thoughts?
If your workload is bursty and you are happy with the noise levels, then the stock cooler is fine.
If you have a sustained workload and prefer more quiet, then going with a better aftermarket cooler is a good idea.
Also disable multi-core enhancement and maybe undervolt the chip in the bios.
