Using stock cooler with 8700k

[superfrillz12]

Hi I want to build and test my pc as soon as possible and im wondering if a stock cooler would be fine with the xmp profile in terms of temps

The 8700K does not come with a cooler. You cannot use it without a cooler.

If you have another stock Intel cooler, it might allow you to boot up without overheating; but I wouldn't try to use it unless you lowered CPU frequency and voltage and disabled turbo boost.

The 8700K does not have a cooler. You need to buy one. YOU WILL destroy that chip if you boot it without cooling. It may "live" but its damaged internally.
