This CPU is fast, really fast. Remove the power limits and let it's boost algorithms take over and it will blow your socks off. You will need a good AIO or really beefy air cooler (or obviously a custom loop). I went with the Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240 Illusion, ordered an extra 2 of the Hallo Fans and set it up in a Push/Pull and under stress test8ng it stays in the 80s (with all power limits removed) while gaming it is usually in the 50's and occasionally the 60's if it is really intense. It is a tad on the pricey end but you want almost the same performance for less grab the 11700k
