Hello all gamers! I am planning to get a core 2 duo e8400, if i am not going to overclock the processor, using the stock fan will not be a problem right for 4 - 5 hours of continuous gaming ?!?!

not suppose to have a problem if you dont OC...

yes, u can OC, but not dat much la................
i suggest u off the smart fan of auto fan in bios, den it will ran @ max rpm all the time.

after u OC, run prime95 for 15 minutes, preferable temperature is not >65c.

depends on the ventilation of the area around your cpu.
and the temperature of the room too.

if u've got air-cond, then dont worry.

if you don't OC the stock heatsink is more than enough. don't even need much ventilation unless you have a high end gc, just a back fan to pull air out is sufficient.

use liquid cooler..

nonid la..stock cooler enuf lor..wat for use liquid cooling?

should be no problem running non stop also no problem. e8400 run much cooler than previous gen proc. just make sure you got exhaust fan in your pc.

im running it now and all i can say is its the 'coolest' proc i ever use.

when im running it at 4ghz and under my Hyper 212 it stay under 55'c and Hyper 212 isnt a great cooler mind you.

Make sure that u use reliable thermal paste and apply it evenly, i once used "cheap thermal paste" with stock fan, no oc and my core 1, core 2 temp jumps 100'c when load using intel burn test, i very freaked out and instantly go buy CCF lol

wow...100'c!!

stock cooler can handle... belimme...
u try 1st

no problem d la, if got problem many ppl complain ady la

THANKS! all btw i am using 9800 GTX+ DK

how much is a good thermal paste?!?!?

buy artic cooler mx2... rm40 but den can use for a long time..... erm btw change to cheap liquid like xingmatek 1... i heard they r selling it for rm190
