I5 3570 Do I need a cooler? And will I have enough power?

[elpuxa]

Do I need a cooler for my I5 3570 NOT THE I5 3570K?
Thinking about the Cooler Master Hyper 212
I have the stock intel cooler!
I have a corsair v550
Asus P8H61-M LX R2.0 Mobo
Amd 7870hd vtx edition
Corsair v550

1. You don't need an aftermarket cooler unless you are overclocking, which you can't anyways because it's a non-k processor.
2. That is plenty enough power 😀

No you don't need it. My cousin have the same cpu and operates pretty normal with the stock cooler even during games. You only need an after market cooler if you are overclocking but you cant overclock so you are good.

How about for making it quieter? Will I notice it even with my gpu?

 

[Mr_Venbeer]

I haven't experienced a stock Intel cooler, but I can assure you it's not even close to as loud as AMD FX stock coolers. It should be fine with the stock cooler noise wise, but you can always buy a Noctua CPU cooler which are the quietest of them all 😉

It depends on what aftermarket cooler is on your GPU. It will be louder if you bump up the fan speed. It's a single fan cooler so it might be slightly quieter depending on what mode it's on.

Any way that I can see that?

 

[Mr_Venbeer]

You mean you want to up your fan speeds on the GPU to see how loud it is?

Yes!

 

[Mr_Venbeer]

Use AMD Catalyst software or MSI Afterburner. Disable auto fan speed first. Set your preferred number.

Well I tested both my gpu and cpu and my gpu is the one whos louder, should I get a cooler for my gpu instead? And make It more quiet?

 

[Mr_Venbeer]

Replacing the GPU cooler is more expensive and much more complicated. If your temps are fine with quiet fan speed then it's not worth it. I would only replace the GPU cooler when I decide to do massive overclocking, and for that I could recommend Arctic coolers.

Thank you Mr Venbeer!

Can you just tell me how much ram should I get? I have 4gb atm but I think 8gb are enough what do you think?
