Hello TomsHardware
I just have a few questions/concerns about my CPU. It is an i5 6500 in a build that im currently building. Some of my concers are listed as follows:
1) Since this is a locked cpu, which means I will not be doing any overclocking, do I need any custom cpu cooler or is the stock cooler more than enough?
2) I have heard alot about this 'turbo-clock' feature and I think i5 6500 clocks to about 3.60ghz from 3.2ghz at stock, does intel still recommend the stock cooler on turbo boost, or should I purchase a CM 212 Evo just incase (probably the most cost effecient cooler i could find)
P.S the build is still not ready, I need some tips on this matter before I make the required purchases. Thanks in advance
