Hello Tommies :D

I'm going to be building a computer soon, and I'm wondering what the gaming and idle temps will be?

I really need to know because my laptops overheat like crazy (Lenovos run hot, but I still love their computers). I'm not here to troubleshoot issues though.

So please tell me how this cooling will do with a Haswell i5 4670K, idle and gaming temps, and tops on thermal paste. Also, let me know if I should use stock thermal paste that comes witb processor or buy separately.

Solution
Can't really predict that but , the Noctua-NH-U-12S is one of the Best Air coolers on the market, the 212 is a budget cooler , not even in the same class as the Noctua.

I would recommend the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus. I have it and it gets the job done. Keeps my cpu cool which is overclocked to 4.2 ghz and keeps it under 60c under load.
