Importance of pc cooling for un over clocked PCs

Cankur.007

Hi I have a rig with Skylake core i5 6600 without over clocked and I have no intention of over clocking that in future do I still need to go for a

1)x99 or z97 motherboard will I get any advantage of buying it if I m not over clocking it

2) as I will not be over clocking it do I need to but a better cpu cooler like cooler master Poseidon or anything else or the stock cooler is enough 

3) let us assume this problem for any cpu it's already been proved in a Linus YouTube video that higher temperature doesn't effects the performance so why should I spend extra cash for cooling

Noise. If you run the stock cooler under high load, it gets rather noisy. If you use a better cooler on it, it can maintain safe temps without the noise.

No need for a X or Z motherboard for sure, but regarding the cooler, you don't want the stock cooler even if you're not overclocking for two reasons :

 

- the noise. Stock coolers are really annoying

 

- the temperatures. Even if you can't overclock, CPUs tend to get very hot with stock cooler at full load. Having your CPU running regularly at 75-80°C isn't good for its life span. A custom air cooler will also help to get rid of the heat faster, you won't be warming up the rest of the components that way

Oh, since no one else has mentioned it yet, you can't use X99 or Z97 mobos with the 6600, which needs 100 series chipsets.

1)No you won't (at least in price to performance).

2)It isn't necessary, but I'd recommend getting an air cooler like the CM Hyper 212 (Both for aesthetics, for the temps and for the noise).

3)None.

 

Also, you can't possibly OC an I5 6600, only the I5 6600K

Actually it's my mistake I 

Actually I liked a b150 gigabyte mother board which has got every thing including m.2ports and nvme support 

So I thought that weather I will get any advantage other than over clocking my cpu although I have absolutely no intentions of doing it  getting a higher end motherboard.it will be great if guys help me out

With Z170, it isn't just the CPU OC but the ram OC also. If you never want to OC ram, that's fine. Note there are some Asrock boards that allow limited ram OC even without Z170 chipset.

Let us assume this situation for any other Skylake processor which may be anything that has no k on its end so do those people who have like a 6400 or 6500 or  6100 will they get much much  advantage if they get A high end motherboard

1. No.

2. No.

3. Is this even really a question?

What do u mean by is this really a question 

I try to mean that if temperatures doesn't effects the performance of the cpu so why should I care for spending an extra for custom Colling 

Just the sound or any extra issue if they exists name and explain them

It will come down to the feature set at the end of the day. Does the mobo provide what you need?  If you need something in particular, you may be more likely to find it on a higher end board than a low cost one. If you're looking purely at performance (without overclocking), there will be no real difference.

Sorry mate but having a CPU run at those temps regularly will most likly not have any effect on the lifspan... unless you run it 24/7 on those temps...

 

I would believe there's more CPU's running the stock cooler than aftermarket ones.. Stock coolers are made to be able to handle the CPU through out its expected lifespan at stock voltages so...
