Will this clearly shows that one intake in the front is provided. If you will not OC then the stock HSF should suffice.

@paul.rohit: Dude wat are your idle temperatures & load temps of your CPU at stock 3.3ghz? Use HWMonitor software to see the temps. Also wat is your ambient temperature of your room? Which cpu cooler are u using stock intel or..?

just asking as I want to compare my i7 2600k temps with yours to find out whether my temps are fine..

PLEASE REPLY.............
