Cooling for Intel i7 4790k

[Wareagle545]

Currently, I have stock Intel cooling for my i3 4130. I just purchased an i7 4790k, and I do not plan on overclocking. Would I need to upgrade cooling, or can I continue to use the stock Intel cooling fan? Thanks!

You can continue to use the stock cooler. No need to upgrade cooling.

You should check your temps according of what you do with your computer, I mean, I use to edit a lot of video and rendering the footage can be CPU-demanding. also gaming, or anything that can put some stress on your system.

If you see the temperatures when doing heavy-work on your pc, you may want to upgrade to a better fan cooler. (just to keep the cpu cooler and extend its life)

Intel's cpus are very tough, you can not upgrade if you want, in my case I want it because I really like to feel my system working smooth under a lot of stress. I used to have a h100i system but it just broke or something (temps where similar using a stock cooler) so I moved to a noctua cooler, is amazing how a fan cooler can match the h100i system.

What do you mean by can not upgrade if I want?
