Hello
Sorry if asked many times in the past , but I want to have an idea about my inquiry as up to date as possible...

I need the best cpu cooler(and fan) for my i7 3770K(not overclocked) on my Asus P8Z77 Deluxe motherboard,which is attached in the very same way that Intel stock cooler would sit on the socket...I mean the 4 lock pin style , please I am tired of those after market difficult to install coolers with back plates and the headache with it...

I sill have the stock intel CPU cooler that came with the i7 3770K box , still new and not open , but the metal element in it is very small in my opinion ...I am not overclocking any component in my PC and will not intend to do so (currently using an aftermarket cooler that was a nightmare to install)...And would like to use the best cooler that gives the lowest possible CPU temp...

My main PC usage is gaming and web surfing , I have a good ventilated case...And water cooling is not an option for me either...

Thanks

The stock cooler included with the 3770K is not bad at all. It will cool the CPU sufficiently at stock and even has some headroom for overclocking.

The stock Intel cooler will do just fine especially since you said you don't plan on overclocking. Having the lowest possible CPU Temp won't affect performance, if your concerned about the longevity of your CPU at stock speeds with the stock cooler the temperatures will be far cooler than the acceptable Temps. It's voltage that kills your CPU but your not OC'ing.

If you persist on wanting a cooler like you described (perhaps for quietness) the Cooler Master TX 3 does install in the much the same way as the stock cooler, with the same 4 pin design. Ultimately though if you want ease you won't get anything easier to install than the stock cooler.
