Hello, I have the i7 4770, and I'm wondering is the Intel stock cooler will be good enough for someone who will do 3d rendering and gaming. On 100% load benchmark I can reach up to 74C.
Will this cooler be sufficient? Remember no overclock

If you're not overclocking, then the stock cooler will be fine, but it'll be noisy.

Yup at 100% load stock Intel coolers get loud n temps get into the mid-seventies. I just junk the stock coolers on all my new builds now. I would agree that the Cooler Master 212 EVO is a very good n quiet aftermarket cooler to use (I've installed them in a couple systems with great results)

Even on full load it's not noisy at all actually.

I never benchmarked on my stock cooler but when gaming it was LOUD like a lawnmower, or playing a game straight off the old fat model Xbox 360's dvd drive, a loud WHIRRRRRR lol.


I'd get the Hyper 212 EVO and if you have a small case, the Cooler Master TX3 is decent too
