I am thinking of buying a oculus rift since the recent price drop. I am not worried about any of my computer components accept my cpu which is an i5 4590. The performance might be enough but I am not sure if my stock cooler will cool my cpu enough to stop it from overheating. I would be grateful if someone could tell me if I need to buy a new cooler. (By overheating I mean thermal throttling or whatever it's called)
Is a stock cpu cooler good enough for vr
