Stock Intel CPU Cooler enough?

[brent21799]

Im getting the i5-4570s boosted to 3.3 ghz will the stock cooler be good enough?

if you plan on overclocking.... i would buy an aftermarket cooler.

its not unlocked....

you will not need an aftermarket cooler as you are not overclocking and you are at stock those stock coolers can work perfectly fine

sorry just noticed you had an "s" on the end.

the stock cooler is fine for non-overclocked cpus however your temperatures will run higher. an aftermarket cooler (albiet a lower end one) can still be of some benefit.

you could make do with a stock cooler though provided you have good airflow in your case (i use the stock cooler on my own i7-920) without any issues.

guess i read boosted... and didnt really look too much further.

It's enough unless you prefer to have a quieter fan / cooler running CPU.

For example, I plan to buy one of Noctua's monsterous CPUs coolers so that I can cool a core i5-4670k (when I decide to buy it) simply because I want my PC to be quiet. When I move the i5-4670k into my HTPC case in 2016 (buying Intel's Skylake CPU), I will then remove the fans from the Noctua heatsink so that it can passively cool an underclocked i5-4670k. I like for my HTPC to be extremely quiet.

its enough for that processor however if you want better temps with the stock remove the pre applied nasty paste and

put on mx4 paste which is cheap for better results this would knock of 5c of the stock coolers usual and make it more quiet
