Stock i7 3770k w/ hyper 212 evo

[dlf]

I have essentially every part to my system cept the CPU - i7 3770K, curious to know what temperatures the CPU, GPU and the system will be getting and the noise level. I DO live in the southern US - Texas (wont say where) but it can get extraordinarily hot here in the summer --- ~39 + degrees Celsius for days at a time. The room the computer is going to put in is also almost directly under a bedroom. Yes I know 'omg why get a 3770k if your going not overclocking it?!!', from what I've been using it could (and most likely would) murder the computers I've been using for months, if not years and two the additional heat - inside and outside the house/computer case and the noise - with a bedroom almost directly above, I don't think would be a very good thing.

Nice build! Hmm, in your case I would buy a nice cheap water cooler like the H50. And with the H50 you can probably hit 4.1GHz easy.

you know that the h50 perform worse than the hyper 212 right?

[Levent]

you can hit to 4.2 - 4.3 with 212 no problem if you are lucky 4.4 everything else seems to be fine dont test your luck with water cooling you might end up with a crappy unit that makes pump noise

i just tested out hyper212 without fan installed to the case and to the block and it survived 10x of very high burn test (with bit hot results hottest core was at 80degrees and cpu was undervolted to 1.09v or 1.05v im not soo sure)

Maybe I misunderstood, but it seems you didn't actually explain why you're getting the unlocked i7 if you won't be overclocking. Pretty much any aftermarket cooler will be sufficient at stock CPU speeds and voltage. You might consider undervolting, too.

probably because the price is about the same as a locked quad core with hyperthreading chip... hyper 212 will be fine for temps,

If you want truly quiet with 40C ambients, it will cost more, idk if a nhd14 could be whisper quiet at the ambient underload.

And that 7970 at 40C ambient will be audible.

Maybe you money could be better spent on AC?

You could get the hyper 212 and then undervolt. This will get your temperature down further and increase its lifespan

I have a hyper 212 evo and an i5 3570K and at 4.2ghz i'm running no more that 63 degrees under a full load.
