Hey guys,

I got my new cpu today i5 4690 with stock cooler. I have at home already this cpu cooler(below) which is dead quiet and I am thinking of reusing it instead of the stock cooler. Would this be ok, or better than stock? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Akasa-AK-CC7117EP01-Performance-LGA1156-LGA1155-x/dp/B005J2IS3U?ie=UTF8&redirect=true&ref_=s9_simh_gw_p147_d0_i6

(please note I am not looking to buy an aftermarket cooler, it;s just I really like this Akasa and I already own it. It's really quiet and looks better than the stock one)

Thank you

yeah i would put it on if it is quieter it will do a better job than the intel stock cooler make sure to apply new thermal paste on though!
