Outpacing an NH-D14 on 6600K w/o OC?

[Looniper]

Just for curiosity sake...

In a discussion about builds elsewhere, this question popped up and to be honest, I haven't got a clue.
I've never heard of a CPU having heat issues (aside from the original Pentiums) without overclocking.

So does anyone know if it is even possible to push an i5-6600K hard enough Without overclocking that a higher-end air cooler can't keep up?
(as to why one would use an i5-6600K and Not overclock, it's anyone's guess)

Nope. For instance, the 4690k would not outpace even its stock CPU cooler at stock clock speeds.

 

The last kinds of CPU to outpace their stock coolers were when Intel was still including stock CPU coolers on their enthusiast platforms. 130W TDP is too much for intel stock heatsinks, even with thicker copper cores.

Nope, can run it at 100% on a stock cooler if you want

Thanks.
While the discussion ventured off into how likely it would be to use how much of each core, I kept coming back to the same place... 'where would the heat come from when the source power is only 88 or 95W?'

Seems I was right.
So when I go back this evening, I can turn the discussion into why someone would not OC when they have a K series CPU.
