Well then I'd go aftermarket .... The Hyper 212 and Cryorig H7 are "great coolers for the money" but the emphasis is on those last 3 words. For just a few buckls more ($37) you can get the Scythe Mugen Max which performs as well or better (depending on test) than the $90 flagship coolers from Noctua (NH-D15) and Cryorig (R1 Ultimate)
The 2500k came w/ its own stock cooler... as long as you are using the same one and not overclocking, it's guaranteed to work. Is that from a 2500k or something else ?
