I would be upgrading from stock cooler. Just want to cool an i5-4670, with stock cooler it sometimes goes up to 80 while gaming. Would this cooler be ok? Or should I delid my cpu. It would be the same price.

Much better than stock cooler and delidding non K CPU makes no sense. Just use some good TIM on it and make sure of case cooling to be good.

Doesn't the cooler come with some thermal paste? Can't I use that?
