The MB is a GIGABYTE Z370 AORUS Gaming 5 with 16 GB RAM and a Cooler Master Hyper RR-212E-20PK-R2 LED CPU cooler

I'm sure with overclocking that would change, and I'll probably get a more capable cooler for when I do (eventually) decide to overclock but air cooled temperatures, even with a relatively cheap air cooler are perfectly fine.

Runs cool (liquid cooled).

but with a decent cooler you should be maintaining around 38 Celsius at idle and no more then 75 under load

Excellent processorEasy to overclockVery fast for realistic workloads as well as benchmarksThermals are very controllable with proper cooler

This thing is a beast, especially mated with a good cooler.

Paired with a powerful bequiet air cooler, most of the time runs at 25 celsius

There is also the fact you will probably have to invest in a fairly good cooler which adds to the cost to the item - in my case I spent 150 dollars for the x62 raising the cost from 370 to 520 USD

Just be sure you have superb CPU cooling

Zalman ATX Mid Tower Case R1 (Nice looking case, provides room for everything, adequate cooling and allows good cable management).2

Very hot you need to make sure you have a good cooling set up

but on a cheap aftermarket cooler it was up to 5.6ghz.

Very good cpu, If you don't have the right cooling for it it will be too hot for your

A powerful cooler or a delid is a must, especially if overclocking, to maintain comfortable temps

I'm sure with overclocking that would change, and I'll probably get a more capable cooler for when I do (eventually) decide to overclock but air cooled temperatures, even with a relatively cheap air cooler are perfectly fine.

I do recommend a good air cooler if not OCing with high quailty paste-

The I7 8700 is able to officially turbo to 4.3 GHz on all 6 cores and with sufficient cooling can do that all day long.

run warm so get a good cooler

Auto over clocked and stable at 4.7 with sufficient liquid cooling.

Very nice CPU, but as been stated many times - CPU can get hot....so above adequate cooling is needed especially when overclocking

(A good quality cooler is a must).-6 cores/12 threads is no slouch for content creators & productivity either.-Will be a viable CPU for many years to come

so I suggest either delidding it for crazy good temps with conductonaut but ruined warranty, a really good air cooler, or (the best one of them all for those who don't want to maintain their loop a lot

when its chugging im sure you would prefer a liquid cooler.

base clocked it at 4.5 Ghz , i have gone to 5.0 Ghz but it makes my Cryorig C7( Cpu Fan ) go full blast , you can definitely go way above this with the right cooling, highly recommended!
