How long till I need a aftermarket cpu cooler?

[g335]

Hello
I just bought a i7 4790k but I didn't have enough to buy a aftermarket cooler.

How long can I run the computer at stock CPU speed before I need to up grade the cpu cooler?

How about a air coolers from Scythe?

Good liquid coolers?
Do I need the dual fan type or the single fan type?

With the stock cooler, many years.

If you're not going to overclock, then you'll likely never require aftermarket cooling. The only time I'd suggest this is if your ambient room temperatures are very hot, in which case you might need something better than stock. But under normal conditions, stock cooling is perfectly fine for non-overclocking scenarios.

The stock intel cooler gets loud eventually , you will want an aftermarket soon.

Best budget cooler on the market.

If noise will be an issue for you, then Blackbird's comment is certainly valid. Noise aside, from a strictly performance / cooling perspective at stock speeds, aftermarket is not necessary.

I've been running a 212+ for many years. Stock coolers are very loud for me. Considering the cheap price of coolers I'd get one when you can. The stock ones will do the job, but will get noisy when gaming.

Until noise annoyance factor > lunch money you are willing to forg😵therwise your CPU can handle it. It's the human who can't take it.
