First time poster!
Hey everyone, I am currently working on my first build and have begun ordering parts. Being the newbie that I am, my plans were to purchase a i5-4670 since I was not planning on overclocking. However, I ran into a great combo deal on Newegg for a i5-4670K CPU with a Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H mobo (which I was originally planning on buying). The deal is great, and I would end up paying less than if i was just getting the i5-4670 and the mobo.
I do not plan on overclocking any time soon, but I think that I will tinker with that down the line someday when I am more familiar/comfortable/educated about OC'ing. I realize that the 4670k is suited to overclocking (while the 4670 is not and more suitable for those not wanting to overclock). My question is: If i get the 4670k, and do not plan to overclock, do i have to purchase/install an aftermarket cooler? Will the stock cooler work fine if I am not overclocking? Can I just wait to install a cooler at a future time when I am ready to overclock and still purchase and use the 4670k at stock settings in the meanwhile without harming my other system components?
Thanks for any help, advice, and guidance.
