I wouldn't doubt that you can keep temps under 80 in IBT with H70 @ 5000Mhz, I am building someone a system with the 2600k and am using the H70, I am interested to see what temps are like...
Stll if I was using the 2600k in my own system I would probably still use a block like the EK I currently use, why not keep your temps under 40c.
You really don't even need Watercooling. A good air cooler will reach it's full potential. It is a very cool chip. I'm going to keep my Rasa when I up to the 2600k purely because I don't feel like taking it out.
Watercooling is always a plus, regardless if you need it or not. Watercooling= FTW!! Especially until we know the "real" max temps for this thing, as Intel says 62c?!?!

Like I said, though, I want to keep it at 5.0Ghz 24/7.
If anyone's got an H70 on a 2600k, post some 24/7 results!
if you already have the watercooling system no reason to go back to air. But like Jonesey said, if mid 60's turns out to be max intel says is safe i wouldnt trust a 5GHz oc on air.

I think that 72.6C is the max TCASE_MAX Case temperature.
I found this interesting: Calculated Tj (assuming TjMax = 99C).
Under the fan profiles.
I wish Intel would just layout the specifications in an easier to read format.
IMO anything over the H70 (which is pushing it) is overkill with these new chips. These CPU's seem to hit a wall at ~4.6 - 4.8Ghz and start to need a lot more voltage to go higher. Even if you are able to overclock it to 5.5Ghz, and nice and chilly at 45C with a custom water loop it wont matter when you are running 1.65v through it.
I would have to say yes, ideal temps for overclocking this chip are 15-20C. overclockability actually degrades when temps lower beyond the ones I posted.
say you can do 5ghz at 0C, maybe only 4.9ghz at -20C
Load temps: 57,62,63,61 steady for 2+ hours on prime95.
I'm going to push it up 4.6 tomorrow, hopefully all I need is 1.35v
The H70 is definitely worth it!
