Hi everyone,
I have a quick question regarding the i7 950 and that I've been told by a couple of people that the standard Intel cooler isnt sufficient as they've experienced fairly high temps at idle (40C+) and had to get an aftermarket one, not overclocked by the way, apparantly one of them also has a 1090T overclocked to 3.6Ghz and never goes over 40C under load. Does this sound right?
I checked around and it does seem that people do experience this, for eg, if you look at user feedback on this processor on newegg, there's a significant amount of people that complained about the cooling.
So I dont plan to overclock, is the standard cooler sufficient? If yes, I'm curious to know why so many people experience temp issues.
thanks!
