Let's find out who has the hottest and coolest CPU.
My FX 8320 stays cool while having the 100% used.
Intel Core i5 2500K on 4,5 ghz (x45 multiplicator) with a Bequiet Dark Rock Pro 3
Min Avg: 36°C Idle
Max Avg: 71°C 100% load

phenom II x4 920, on a xigmatek s1283 red scorpion
min 27C max 49C after 5 minutes.
ambient room temp is 21.2C (have a fancy alarm clock)
not bad for a cooler that's cable tied on and not making proper contact :p
i5 6600k stayed on 49C with the occasional flash of 50C. NZXT Kraken cooling it in NZXT H440 case, everything stock
Cooler: Hyper 212 Evo
CPU: i7-6700k (at stock 4GHz)
Ambient Temp: 22c
Idle Temp: 29c
Load Temp: 71c
49° C after 20 minutes of Prime, 38° C when semi idle
AMD FX-8320 with a Cooler Master Nepton 280L CPU cooler

25c idle.
Prime didnt even really trigger my CPU fans to spin up after 5 mins as I set the threshold over 65

Using Be Quiet Dark Rock 3
i5 4570 here easily hitting 100C at which point it throttles and so goes no higher. Max average 99.25C as a couple of the cores don't quite reach 100C before the others trigger the throttling. Do I win something? :clapping:
Stock cooling in a small form factor case which hasn't been cleaned in 2.5 years since I put it together. Truth be told, I don't notice any problems. In years gone by a computer would switch off when it started overheating and I would have to clean the dust out. Now on the rare occasion I push it (handbrake possibly, can't think of much else that would do it) it scales down the clocks to something it can manage and I don't have to care. :p
Makes me wonder - what's the worst cooling you could get away with for a modern CPU if you didn't care about it throttling at all? Presumably with no cooler at all it couldn't keep running - it can't throttle enough for that. Would be a brave soul that tries to test it but I have a feeling it would be surprisingly difficult to kill a modern CPU...
i7 4790k @ 4.7 ghz (custom loop)
Ambient, 21c
Idle 25c (lowest core), 28c (highest core)
Load 72c highest core
AMD Phenom II X3 710 OC@3.4GHz (1.4V) under Coolermaster Seidon V120 v2
Antec P182 case
Prime95 torture test for 30 mins: Average temp 60°C, varied between 58°C & 62°C
Ambient room temp 25.2°C
That was interesting, runs several degrees hotter than it does when using other programs that fully load all cores (such as video editing)

Edit: was starting to throttle though, was watching the clock speed on random cores drop here and there for fractions of a second... again that doesn't happen for video encoding :)

Cooler: Corsair H100i GTX in Push-Pull Configuration
CPU: i7-6700k OC'd to 4.7Ghz from the stock 4Ghz
Ambient Room Temp at the moment is: 17c with my window open, usually around the 20's
Idle Temp: 22-24C
Load Temp reached: 80C
Fans were sitting at around 2000RPM as thats as loud as I can stand them, noise wise.
Case: NZXT Phantom Full Tower with the stock NZXT intake/exhaust fans - one 140mm front intake, two side 120mm's and one large 200mm side intake fan.
Standard rear 120mm Exhaust fan - meaning the radiator is pushing out most of the heat.
