[SOLVED] can I use intel cpu cooler that came with i5 on new i7?

[spicyyy777]

Can I use my i5 4690 cpu fan on a i7 4790k? I can get the i7 for a good deal but without the cpu fan. So I was just wondering if I can re use the fan. And after installing the new cpu should I go into the bios or will it boot up in windows normally or what should I do After installing it?

can you?it fit but gonna get CPU thermal throttle

make sure your motherboard bios is at least the version that support 4790k.

You're putting a nice upgrade into your PC, spend the 30$ on a decent cooker, that's a no brainer

It will boot and have a high idle temp but I’d not recommend it for the long run. The cpu will thermal throttle when in load. I’d recommend the cryorig h7 or simmlar cooler
