Posted October 3, 2017 Just now, WhisperingKnickers said: Oh wow, I am surprised that it stayed so cool that is really neat. I am very excited to get another 5690 to overclock in the new mobo I got but I don't have the budget to get the rest of the computer right now unfortunately I was surprised too. But it stayed even cooler at stock speeds. Don't get a 5690 for overclocking! If you want a CPU to overclock and don't care about budget as much get a W3680/W3690, those are unlocked like the i7 980X/990X. Oddly enough they are cheaper than the x5680 and x5690. @Lord Nicoll Well, you aren't using Air cooling for that, are you?
