The LGA2011 variant this fall is going to have 40 or something lanes.

And, apparently, 4 memory channels instead of the usual 2 for 1156 or 3 for 1366.

What if you are not using LAN, but using a USB wifi dongle instead?

Then it won't affect you unless at some point you decided to use the ethernet ports.

Siroc if the cooler is the pushpin style one intel loves to use then a scary amount of force is often necessary to get it to seat correctly and less really is more when applying the thermal grease (TIM).

I'm hitting 40c idle, 65c load at 4.0 GHz with no voltage tweaks. Does this seem kind of high before even tweaking the voltage? I'm using the Hyper 212 Plus and the base was pretty uneven where the heatpipes were which seemed a bit odd.

Did you use the pre-applied TIM or did you add some to it or did it not come with any TIM pre-applied? If you applied your own its possible you used too much. What is the ambient air temp of your room and did you disable the powersaving features?

I have the stock cooler on the i7-2600. There's that tool called Core Temp. When running the OCCT CPU test, the temps shoot up to 90°C. Are these readouts normal, for CPU internal sensing?

Also, the Asus setup tool has hilariously bad start up times.

Provided the readout is accurate that is way way way too hot, especially if its stock clocked. Same questions apply to you as R1CH.

My i5-2500k with no overclocking and stock cooling seems to vary between 40 degrees C during normal use and up to 70 degrees C when playing games.
Should I be worried? My case has pretty bad airflow, but even sticking a desk fan right up against the mesh of the case at the processor doesn't really cool it off much (maybe 2 or 3 degrees).
I've done some googling, but I'm getting conflicting information. Apparently 70 degrees isn't "overheating" (80 degrees would be worrisome), but people are also reporting significantly lower "idle" temperatures.

Whats the ambient air temp? What case? Have you ever installed a cooler like the stock cooler before?
