Can I use an Intel Stock Pentium Cooler on an i5?

Callisto

I bought a new Pentium g4560 and it came with a stock cooler. There is a good deal on a used i5 6500 however it only comes with the CPU.

I could use the cooler that came with my Pentium right? the i5 6500 does not need great cooling to run as It can't be overclocked or anything but I'm not sure 

 

What do you guys think?

Yes. It's still not a good cooler though. Even something $20 is significantly better.

i think the stock cooler of the g4560 is the same as the i5 6500

 

i think its like the exact same piece of aluminum xD ( intel just makes a batch of stock coolers per socket, if cpu is same socket its same stock cooler too , wether it handles the chip or not.... guys imagine intel giving stock heatsinks with i7s? -_- lol)

 

just dont complain about the jet engine sound when u start stressing the cpu :D wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

It should be fine, if warm and loud. You can always try it and so long as it doesn't exceed 85C+, you're okay.

You could, but why would you? A budget tower cooler ~30 will be a huge improvement. 

 

Edit: Oh, a locked i5. Yeah don't expect that thing to be pushed, you'll be fine.

What do you mean? The locked i7's do come with the stock heatsinks, even their newest 6 core i7 8700 does.

All Intel coolers are the same. They will work on a G4560, a 6500 and even a 8700.

 

Aftermarket options are cheap though.

I'm new to PC's and I am confused about what you're saying. Why would Intel put a cooler in the box that doesn't cool the CPU properly?

I have a PC with bad airflow and a i7 4770 with a stock cooler and it cools it just fine. Temps are alright unless you're putting full load on it or running a stress test like AIDA64.

aida64 is nothing compared to prime, i can run aida with temps below 60 where p95 gives 90 peaks ( small fft )
