I7 6700k with Intel E97379 thermal solution

[Romerrr]

I have a Pentium g4400 and i found an i7 6700k preety cheap on the used market but the purchase will almost drain all my money for the month and I would like to know what kind of temps and throtling I can expect with my g4400s cooler

all intel stock coolers are the same. You will be OK without any overclock until you can get a better cooler.

Probably around 70-80C under load. You can set lower voltage for CPU to lower temps.

They're not the same. The G4400 comes with a lower profile aluminum cooler whereas the stock coolers included with i5/i7's are generally taller with a copper slug. 

With undervolting, the G4400 stock cooler should just be enough but not recommended.

ahhh, thought they changed them all to be aluminum a while back, guess I was wrong. Thank you.

They're mainly aluminum for intel's newer and more efficient cpus but that doesn't mean that they're enough cooling for the 6700k.

i research this because i was thinking of doing the same. The i7 6700k does not come with a cooler, but the 6700 does. If you don't plan overcloacking (and you shouldn't on a intel stock cooler) and because the difference between the 6700k and 6700 is not that great at stock speeds, you can see that the difference between the stock cooler of the g4400 (e93379) and the i7 6700 (e97378) is basically nonexistent so you'll be fine.

Results from SPCR showed that the difference isn't huge but it's not negligible. http://www.silentpcreview.com/article1503-page5.html

With an i5 2400, the difference in temps ranged between 3-5c and this can widen with a more power hungry cpu. 

The 6700 is probably binned to not need as much voltage, has lower clock speed and turbo boost compared to the 6700k, and should run much cooler because of it.

If you search online, there are reports of high temps when using the 6700 stock cooler on the 6700k ranging from 85-99c at gaming/synthetic loads.

i don't think we are discussing if it is the ideal solution, just if the OP can deal with it for a month till he get some money.
