Do I need a cooler for my I5 3570 NOT THE I5 3570K?
Thinking about the Cooler Master Hyper 212
I have the stock intel cooler!
I have a corsair v550
Asus P8H61-M LX R2.0 Mobo
Amd 7870hd vtx edition
Corsair v550
 
Solution
Replacing the GPU cooler is more expensive and much more complicated. If your temps are fine with quiet fan speed then it's not worth it. I would only replace the GPU cooler when I decide to do massive overclocking, and for that I could recommend Arctic coolers.

No you don't need it. My cousin have the same cpu and operates pretty normal with the stock cooler even during games. You only need an after market cooler if you are overclocking but you cant overclock so you are good.

I haven't experienced a stock Intel cooler, but I can assure you it's not even close to as loud as AMD FX stock coolers. It should be fine with the stock cooler noise wise, but you can always buy a Noctua CPU cooler which are the quietest of them all ;)

Thank you Mr Venbeer! :)

Can you just tell me how much ram should I get? I have 4gb atm but I think 8gb are enough what do you think?
