Hello! right now I have an i5 4440 3.1 GHz processor, I recently bought an i5 9600K 3.7 GHz, But I forgot to buy a cooler with it, my question is, will the cooler I have to my i5 4440 work on the new i5 9600k processor or do I have to buy a new one?

It will technically work, but it's a terrible combo. What motherboard did you pair with the 9600k?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Your stock cooler?

Like stated above, horrible idea. It would work, but not a good idea

It will work, and since its i5, you shouldn't experience massive heating. You can disable any auto-OC features, like Asus MCE to further help. But if you have overclocking in mind, I recommend investing to midrange cooler. Or to budget one if stock isn't enough for you otherwise.
