Wondering about Stock and Custom CPU cooling...

[mehrdad99]

Hello once again, as you can see in my video at youtube

[flash=425,344]http://www.youtube.com/v/fNADylxxsNM&hl=en[/flash]

I am currently just waiting for my bro to come and do the rest...(well the power stuff)

But my real question is this, Is a regular stock cooler just fine if not overclocking? \

The stock cooler is a piece of s***. Even stock it allows the CPU to run hot. In spec, yes, but it heats your room up.

Buy a CPU cooler. WELL worth the money.

Eh is it really worth it, cause my office room is always cool and ventilated..

Also... i already put the stock cooler on... ... yeh....

Also.. i think ill wait and see... Ill have some programs running cpu temp... so if it gets too high, after next week or so ill buy a nice 60$ cpu cooler...

What do you think?

 

[shadowduck]

What are you temps?

Check with CoreTemp.

My room is always cool and ventilated also. Stays around 24C.

 

[mehrdad99]

If its lower then 30C is that fine? Or ? Whats the max temp for CPU's before they get Over heated?

Stock is fine if u dont OC.
Even if u do oc u can get good results. An aftermarket cooler IS quieter tho.

An aftermarket cooler is better than the stock cooler if you plan to overclock.

Hmm, thanks because i got kind of worried. I might get a PC extra Upgrade in about 1 month for sure though.

1x new cpu cooler
1x new (120/125) x25mm fan //not sure what it is..forgot...

An after market cooler is not mandatory if you're not over clocking but it keeps you CPU cooler in most cases. Even lower end model do have better performances than the stock cooler. Anyways there is nothing wrong with getting an after market cooler and lowering you temps 10C - 15C lower than with the stock one. I mean if you got the budget why not and if you ever decide to try your hands at OC then you'll be ready.
