Usually those are made into I3's I'm somewhat sure that all dual core i3 ever sold are dual core dies, not quad cores with disabled cores (and disabled furthermore, disabled L3 cache). With socket 1156, the quad cores were 45nm while the dual cores were 32nm. There are separate dual core designs for socket 1155 Sandy Bridge, and I don't think there are exceptions like the rare Phenom II X4 that are actually Thubans (the hex core) with disabled parts. | ||

Some GPUs can, but that is running hot even for them. According to this the max operating temperature for your CPU is 72.6C. Ideally, you'd want it a fair bit lower than that when your processor is under load. | ||

I have a scythe yasya (? i think xD) aftermarket cooler and the things beast. After 9 months without me dusting (i know i know, im waiting on new parts before doing it.) it still sits at 42-45oC under heavy load. (3+ hours of constant battlefield3) this is on an i5-2500k but still, aftermarket coolers are the shizzle! Also good heatsink paste helps a bit, make sure its seated properly, air bubbles are bad. | ||

For reference my I7 2600k is overclocked to 4.8 and peaks at 72 degrees under 24hour torture testing with stock cooling. Sandy can handle that temp. It's all about your thermal paste application. | ||

Really? Can you link a source? If not i believe you anyway. | ||

It's like dancing, less is more. You are trying to fill in microscopic imperfections on the surface of the cpu and heatsink. Too much and it cooks, too little and it cooks.

I have 2600k at 4.7 and with 212+ cooler i get arround 75 degrees after 18 hours of stress testing, but stock cooling ? | ||

My temps are probably 70ish, but I would periodically get crashes and stalls if I OC'd past 4.6. | ||
