Power supply for 25.00. Sketchy, much?

Honestly its hard to say, The 3770k on stock cooler runs at high 30s and low 40s which is what your getting now on your cooler. What you have to keep in mind is that the 3770k naturally runs cooler and uses less power then the 860 so there is a chance that the 3770k cooler might be worse then what you have now. BUT numbers change depending on setup so you'll have to try it out to know for sure.

LS mate got the 3770 with the standard cooler and he has temperatures around 70° celsius while gaming. He's going to get another cooler soon :x

(He said the standard cpu cooler is smaller than the ones attached to his case xD")

1156/1155 use the same heatsink I believe, had to varify by checking myself in the boxes, yes they are the exact same heatsink besides the sticker.


Just remember with the push pin ones to go in a X pattern and make sure the pins are fully seated down.

Interesting, you'd think they'd either be exactly the same, or the newer one would be better.

My temps aren't running at 70 but they have spiked there. Going to see what cleaning and reapply thermal paste will do, then if no improvement, see about one of the coolers that Shura pointed me to.

Coris: This is the cooler my son uses with that CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835103099 I believe he's OC'd it and his temps don't go over 50

Unfortunately it is likely too big for my case.

Once again, thank you all for your input! I wonder if you'll ever get rid of me lol

Today he ordered this one: http://www.bequiet.com/en/cpucooler/287
He chose it because even the stock cooler collides a bit with the RAM modules and it needed to fit in his case.
by the way, i've never heard of those TopFlow coolers before :0 I hope it will fit and will fix his heat problem

Most likely a defective cooler, but from what I'm reading they average around 37-43C on idle, and high 50s and mid 60s for load. honestly I can't even remember the last time i tried stock cooler but I get the feeling intel does not really care about the stock cooler quality, majority of the people who buy these high end CPU will not use stock cooler. Even companies like HP and Dell tend to use their own cheap aftermarket cooler.

It's not just Intel. AMD's stock coolers are cheap too. So many people directly buy another cooler while ordering a CPU. That's what I did too. Those standard coolers are tiny and pretty noisy.



woot, 400 postings for me xD
