Should I buy aftermarket cooler for 5 4670k?

[Slumy__57]

Hey everyone,
So I just finished building a new pc, and I have an Intel i5 4670k in it, non OC, and not planning on it. I am not sure if I need to buy an aftermarket cooler for it, I mounted the cpu myself, I did a good job on the application of the thermal paste, and I am getting 40-45c idle temps.

Do these temperatures warrant an aftermarket cooler?

Idle temps are ok, what are your load temps?

Thoes temperatures are fine, if you want to overclock then get an aftermarket cooler.

The most demanding game I've run so far is Just Cause 3 on max settings, and I was peaking right around 70c

70c is still safe, though it wouldnt hurt at all to get a $20 212 Evo air cooler.

Yea, 70C is fine. If you want cooler temps I would recommend the EVO 212 or the Cryorig H7.
