i7 4770k help

[Yahhms]

Hello all. I am wondering if the Intel Core i7 4770k comes with a stock heat-sink fan. If so would that be enough to cool it and would I need to apply my own thermal paste?

[Sonefiler]

Yes, Yes, no

if you are not overclocking then get the 4770 non-K edition and save some bucks

Yes it comes with a boxed cooling solution. However it's a little underrated for the i7, it uses the same supplied with the i5. So don't do anything like running prime95 or something.

It comes with the stock heat sink fan and it's enough to cool the cpu if you're not overclocking.

It comes with a CPU cooler, the thermal's pre-applied, and it's enough for general use. At that level of a product, I'd rather splurge and get an aftermarket CPU cooler.

Thanks so much guys!

What aftermarket cpu cooler would you recommend?

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is a great cooler.

The stock cooler can be just fine for overclocking. You would need to test it yourself. In my case, I get good temps with the stock cooler with my CPU overclocked. As far as aftermarket coolers go, the Noctua NH-D14 is a good one as well as the bequiet! Dark Rock Pro 3.
