So I just got an i7 4790k CPU and I'm having to use the stock cooler. I blew all my money on the CPU and getting it installed, so I don't really have the money to get an after market cooler. What I'm wondering is, will the stock cooler be fine for like 3 months until I can get a new one? I haven't seen any performance issues when I've been gaming for a long time, but it is very loud, so it just has me worried. I mostly use my rig for gaming. I don't plan to overclock the CPU at all. I also have 4 other built in fans on my case (two on the side, one on top, and one in the back), so will that help get some of the excess heat out as well?
 
Solution
It will be fine as long as you have your system. You ONLY need an aftermarket cooler if you overclock or live in some gawdawful place that's 100+F every day :)
