Stock Cooler i5 2500k Question

[Phrosty]

Hey guys, I just ordered my i5 2500k and I didn't order an aftermarket cooler. Will I need an aftermarket cooler to OC it at all?

Every chip is different. The only way you can find out what YOUR processor can do is by testing it yourself. Just try to keep temps in the max 70s or lower is better, keep overclock as posible use stock voltage, maybe Stock cooler can do little oc , and aftermarket for little - high oc depend performance cooler also your target oc.
