Keeping It Cool

[Werzbowski]

Does a non-overclocked i5 4670K (used for gaming) require an aftermarket cooler, or would the OEM one do?

not much needed if you have good airflow inside your chassis ... but why buying a K processor if you don't want to overclock it . .

Apparently, even if you don't OC them, the Ks benchmark better than non-Ks... also, some MOBOs will automatically OC to a small degree if you set them to "performance"/"gaming" mode... From what I've read online... (I've been wrong before, and will probably be wrong again... a lot.)

no man . . K processors are made for overclocking and the difference you are mentioning is just because K processor have multipliers to work on . . if not overclocking so K processors are not recommended . .
