Hi I'm upgrading my CPU to a Intel Core i5-4670K. I was wondering is it required that I also purchase a CPU cooler with this? Or is it ok to use it without one? I'm new to this
If you plan on ever overclocking the CPU, you should invest in an after market cooler like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO or something similar.
If your not going to overclock, then the stock cooler that comes with it will work just fine.
ok great thanks, I wasn't sure if it was something that was required. I plan on just using my PC for gaming, I'm also upgrading the mobo and the GPU. So I don't think I'm going to overclock it.
Could you break down in the simplest terms why people overclock and what exactly overclocking does? Always been curious.
