I'll kick us off then.
>Corsair Hydro H115i
It's a loud motherfucker, but gets the job done.
>8700k
Good CPU all around, runs well, does it's job, even while not overclocked.
>yes
Big differences in temperature though. I keep it at 5,1Ghz during fall, winter and spring (if it's not a too hot spring).
>30 degrees idle in the summer, 20-25 on regular, and 20 blank in the winter
In a country where winters get very cold and summers get very hot it's an equal trade.
>on 100% over a few minutes 85 degrees (I have to clock down a little during the summer though, or the thing will just crash at 90ish), during the winter we get low-80s at 5,2ghz though, which is nice

>what do you use and why?
Some random inexpensive chinese air cooling. It was cheap and it works
>what poor CPU are you forcing to endure the heat?
the legendary and never obselete 2500k
>is it overclocked, if so how high and what heat differences do you run into?
4,4ghz with slight increase in temps and doesn't get too hot under load
>idle temps?
~35-40c on a hot day
>load temps?
~65-80c depending on load and ambient

God I miss mine every day. Would have been great for a backup workstation or not-heavily-used home server.

I was young and thick.
Bought myself a new CPU cooler (total junk, in retrospect), and installed it all by myself. I was so proud.
Now I was running at 4,4ghz at the time and thought myself the shit. But I read from some guide online that some dude had pushed it up to 5,0ghz! Big number, tempting, and I wanted in on the action.
Of course, I hadn't installed the CPU cooler correctly (didn't even use thermal paste, Jesus Christ) and when I got I set the voltage and the clock too high it hit an unbearable temp and just died right there. Never got it back to life through any means. I cried and cried those sweet teen tears.

Corsair H100i. It has a 5 year warranty. Liked the form factor vs. air.
>what poor CPU are you forcing to endure the heat?
Threadripper 1950X
>is it overclocked, if so how high and what heat differences do you run into?
It's stock, but can turbo up to 3.7Ghz.
>idle temps?
About 42c.
>load temps?
As high as it lets me.

I don't get it, isn't your room temperature the same all year? Do you not have heating or air conditioning in your home?
