I have a intel i5 4430 processor that cannot be overclocked. my mother board is a gigabyte ga h87 d3h, and i am using the stock intel cooler. Will i require better cpu cooler? I have a sharkoon t28 case which is quite small so some large cpu coolers might not fit. I also know that some cpu coolers are very heavy, will it damage the motherboard after time?

Something like the Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Evo CPU Cooler would be just fine if you wanted to upgrade your cooling.

Your stock cooler will work okay if you don't want to change. Sometimes the stock coolers are a little noisy when the CPU is under load but if that doesn't bother you i wouldn't worry about changing:)

If no overclock the the stock cooler will do fine but replacing the cooler will keep the CPU extra cool which is never a bad thing. All the coolers come with mounting brackets so the will cause no damage from the weight over time.

The included stock cooler will work just fine. If you do want a better cooler the maximum height of a CPU cooler for that case is 16 cm.
A CPU cooler won't damage the motherboard. They are designed to fit and work without causing damage.
Would you like me to recommend a cooler?

The Cooler Master Blizzard T2 CPU Cooler is cheaper in my country(UK).

The cheaper you get the closer you will get in performance to your stock cooler. I personally wouldn't recommend anything lower than the Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Evo. If you don't want get that i recommend staying with your stock cooler:)
