The CoolerMaster212 is still a really good choice as a CPU cooler and doesn't break the bank at all. I've got my 2500k @4.5ghz maxing at @~76 with one.

And it's new? That's some questionable quality assurance they have. Something went wrong when they applied the cpu or cpu fan.

When you spend €300 on a CPU, get a decent cooler as well. The additional €30-50 isn't much compared to the price of your PC. You'll have much better temperatures and eventual overclocking possibility.

You're lucky that your CPU is still working.

tyschow can something last that long at 100c???

the fan on my old graphics card stopped working while i was ingame once and i didn't notice, when i checked it had climbed to 170c

it still worked so i don't know what was up with that thing

i wonder what kind of insane temps the bulldozer can reach without a heatsink

I saw this yesterday and I needed a whole day to calm down.

So someone sold you a new PC, with a 4770K, even though the 4790K is the the same price, with the stock cooler and then didn't manage to install said cooler, that only requires you to slap it on the CPU and then press 4 plastic things until it clicks?

Also, what is it with everyone in here trying to fry their CPU/GPU?

Because they didnt sell 4790k? And idk 1 side of the cooler was loose idk how, but i think it cant melt because it turns off when it reahes 100C

1st gen Haswell processors had terrible thermal problems due to poorly applied thermal paste under the heatspreader. It made overclocking on these chips much much harder because they demanded more cooling..sometimes one or two cores would be running substantially hotter than the others. Intel denied these claims until the haswell refresh chips dropped, when they somewhat addressed it by saying they improved the thermal paste on the new chips. haswell refresh chips are basically the same performance wise, with much better thermals and power consumption. (sidenote devil's canyon, what a disappointment for such a evil name) If you google Delidding haswell. you'll find instructions on how to take the heatspreader off and apply your own thermal paste... voiding your warranty in the process...but if done correctly, made radical differences in temperatures. But really, RMA your chip. It shouldnt be running that hot.

Just be glad that Intel has built in damage protection on their CPU's (it automatically throttles to protect itself when overheating). Basically the only way you can kill chips nowadays is to manually provide too much voltage..it didn't used to be that way!
