I5 stock cooler

[Domenus]

Hello!

Is the Core i5 2500K's stock cooler sufficient for some overclocking (let's say to cca 4 GHz)?

Or should I get an aftermarket cooler right away?

I would also wanna know what aftermarket cooler is good to get.

Here I'm probably looking at something with good price/preformance ratio below 50EUR.

Thanks for any answers

I also recommend an aftermarket cooler, the Cooler Master Hyper 212 plus is also great bang for buck. You will be able to hit 4.0GHz with it. You can find the Hyper 212 plus for $30 at some places, I am assuming you are not from the US and so prices may be different where you live.
