Is it okay if I use the Intel i5 3570k stock cooler for gaming t ultra?

Solution
Stock coolers are absolutely fine for gaming. Bottom line is, if you bought it, used the stock cooler and it burnt out - you'd be more than within your rights to get refunded.

Third party coolers are only necessary when overclocking - basically turning up the speed of your processor higher than its factory settings.

So yeah, dont worry about, you should be fine :)

I had to get an after market cooler since my i5-3570K was getting to low 80s in far cry and bf3 at stock speeds. Now they top out at mid 60s with an evo 212 and at 4.2ghz.
