I never used these before when processors were 4 or 6 cores, did not need it. To be honest, i should have bought I5 instead I7 But i got this on for the same price with discount so i took it. Now every new processor has 14 cores and up, Intel does, not sure about AMD, those run hot no matter how many cores lol. Idle temps use to be in 20`s and now are in 30`s and 40`s , AMD slightly more. Also, i started having problems where pc kept shutting down after a while, so i wanted to make sure how hot it gets.
Later i figured that the problem was a shitty cpu water block. After replacing it, the temps came down to normal range again.
