Would it be worth it to get the kraken x61 for a i5 4690 (non k)

It just looks so badass

Not really. The stock cooler is fine, and I wouldn't go any more than something like a 212 EVO to be honest.

Completely overkill.

 

But it's your money, and overkill is underrated.

not really any point if you're not going to overclock. if you really want an aio water cooling kit than get something like a x31 or h60

Either up to a 4690k to justify the X61, or stick to the stock cooler. It's overkill to use it on a locked CPU
