Read more.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

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?
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.
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

8350 stock speed with Noctua cooler 41c

That's because running prime numbers really stresses the CPU's instructions etc. over aapps/games that's why it's used for overclocking stability testing as games/apps do not push your CPU so hard.
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.
