Yes, the stock cooler is plenty for that.

Yes, the stock cooler is plenty for that.

The only time the stock cooler wont be enough for a cpu is when they dont include one I agree with avenseth12

Yes, the stock cooler will be just fine since you have a non-overclockable (well you can overclock it a little but meh) CPU and heat output of the CPU will not be enough to justify investing in a aftermarket CPU heatsink / cooler.

 

[boosted1g]

Yes, stock cooler is sufficient as long as the case has sufficient airflow

While I wouldn't buy an i7 4790, yes the stock cooler is sufficient.

1. I think you mean i7-4790, not 4970.
2. The stock intel cooler will do the job.
Two reasons to change it out:
a. It is a bit tricky to install.
b. Under load, the 92mm fan can get noisy.

I might suggest a simple tower type cooler with a 120mm fan. About $30.
cm hyper212 for example.

Save some money and go with a 1231v3 instead. The 200mhz difference in clock speed isn't worth the $40-$50 price difference. They also run cooler, due to lack of IGP.

YES, without question the stock cooler is just fine for gaming and all your needs. Intel would not include the cooler if it did not meet the needs of the cpu under normal conditions.
