Posted December 6, 2015 It isn't over locked and I am using a stock heat sink but I am using two aftermarket fans with it. Could you elaborate? Take a picture of them.

Posted December 6, 2015 There are two main types of case fans, ones that focus on airflow and those that focus on pressure. If when you look through he fan there is a lot of space between the blades, those are for airflow and won't move air efficiently through a heatsink. The less you can see through the blades when looking through the fan, the more pressure it can build and the better it will move air through a cooler, but that comes at a price as the air will move slower at the same fan RPM.

Posted December 6, 2015 you cant go wrong on $20 for a good aftermarket cooler like the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo. Though as som1 said, stock heatsink on stock CPU (no OC no voltage change) should not overheat. Unless u have catastrophic case airflow.

Posted December 6, 2015 a stock 6300 should NOT be overheating on a stock cooler. This might be a faulty chip Looking at the TDP of 95W I think it can overheat when gaming, not sure though, he's using a stock cooler. For gaming. And who knows what airflow he got in there. Could be faulty chip as well yes. ┏(◑̃.◑̃)┛ Totally Not Dangerous ┏(◐̃.◐̃)┛ i7 4790K / 16GB RAM \ 250GB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should remove dust if any, and better airflow, with better fans and the stock cooler will do fine.
