Upgraded from a Haswell i5 4570 (3.2GHz base clock). I paired it with a $90 (read: budget) MSI Z97 PC Mate motherboard, 1TB Samsung Evo 850 SSD and an Cooler Master Evo 212 CPU fan. CRAZY FAST.Stock fan is horribly load at load and temps will get high. So do yourself a favor and grab an aftermarket CPU cooler to go with ANY CPU, overclocked or not. I had this 212 on my old i5 and decided to take it with me to my new i7. I'm overclocked to the turbo frequency 24/7 at 4.4GHz. Temps while browsing, downloading, etc are roughly ~38-40C.I chose this over the non k i7 version because the base and turbo clocks were higher for not all that much more money. And I could decide if I want to overclock or not. Well worth it.
