I am planning to upgrade my CPU from an Intel I3-4130 to an Intel I5-4590, with my I3 I used the aftermarket CPU cooler but as I would like to do more gaming the CPU temperatures will rise and I don't know if the stock cooler will suffice. I have been looking at AIO loops (Cooler Master Seidon 120v) but I do not want it to leak. I have also looked at the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo but due to my case it will not fit (Thermaltake Versa H21) as the limit for size stated on the Thermaltake website is 155mm and the cooler is 159mm tall as stated on the Cooler Master website.

My questions are:

1) Will I need an aftermarket CPU cooler?

2) What are the chances of the Cooler Master Seidon 120v leaking?
 
Solution
I used stock cooler for four years and it was sufficient. But as new games are more demanding I wouldn't use stock.
There is always chance something will happen. But don't worry ;)
