Stock fan or after market?

jareDrake13 · Apr 22, 2014

Hi i am buying a i7 3770k. I am wondering whether I need a after market cooler or I can use the stock cooler. I do not overclock by the way.

The stock cooler is poor and loud , get a case that will fit the 212 EVO.

Hmm thanks for the suggestion. Would it fit im my micro atx case? If not can you suggest a cooler better than the stock cooler , but can fit in an an atx tower, also, how do i post pictures in Tomshardware, i'm kind of new

What exact case?

I'm not doubting you, but you would say it would be superior to the stock cooler in performance?

Dark Lord of Tech · Apr 22, 2014

For sure.

Here's my Cooler , but I have a HUGE case a Corsair 750D.

jareDrake13 · Apr 22, 2014

Wow, that's huge thanks for all the help, but finally, can ypu tell me why the stock cooler isn't very good?

It gets the job done but is noisy under loads, very noisy imo.

hi , sorry for bugging you so much, but do you know if the cooler you suggested to me has a mounting bracket included? It didn't really say on amazon. If not, can i buy a mounting bracket separate?
