Stock heat sink or aftermarket

[Deleted member 589304]

Iam currently building a new PC and will have a I5 I was wondering if the stock heatsink will do or if I should get a different one? I have a antec 100 for a case.
Any help would be great.

thanks

which i5 and do you plan to overclock? If you don't plan to overclock stick with stock otherwise get an aftermarket heatsink.

stock fans are perfectly sufficient for a cpu that is NOT OC'd, or even mildly, say an extra 200MHz-300Mhz. This is the usual though, as temps are most important. If you are overclocking, i recommend either the "best bang for your buck" Hyper 212+ (EVO), or the Noctua D14. Both are relatively quiet, and are high performance aftermarket HSF.

Ya I am not going to be overclocking. Never really got into that stuff.

you dont need any aftermarket cpu then. stock is sufficient.
