I know this is a question that gets asked a lot but I am building my new Gaming PC and was wondering if I kneed a separate CPU cooler. I am getting a i5 4590 and doing no overclocking (I don't think you can overlock this processor anyway) so do I need to invest in a separate cooler such as the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. (https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rr212e20pkr2) Any help appreciated!
 
Solution
The stock cooler would be fine, as you cant OC that processor, however you may wish to get the EVO anyway, as the stock cooler tends to get fairly loud under load temps.

OK ill get the EVO to keep it quieter. Also it looks nicer than the stock cooler!
