i am almost positive my cooler master seidon pump is broken and i wanted to know if i could temporarily replace it with a stock cpu heatsink my build includes an i5 4670k cpu and an nividia evga 770 gpu, psu is 750wt
 
Solution
It's no problem, just use the stock Intel cooler until you can get the seidon repaired/replaced.
Just lay off the overclocking ;).

my computer isnt overclocked at all its at 3.4, i would not play games on it yet but i was wondering if the stock heatsink would at least manage with running the comp for setup and installing drivers, and updates...ect.

my cpu is at 3.4 stock and default i dont have any overclock as i am still in the process of setting up my pc, the broken seidon on the cpu now is basically the same as having no heatsink on the cpu what so ever from the start.
