Do I need to buy a cpu cooler if I buy the  Intel Core i5-6600 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor ?

Hi!

 

It will come with its own cooler that does the job fine for non overclockers

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

It comes with a stock cooler, so not required per se, but if you want lower temperatures, then buying a CPU cooler will be "necessary." Bear in mind that the stock cooler is totally fine.

No, it comes with one. However, if you want to spend a bit extra to buy one separately (I'd suggest the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo), your CPU will run a little cooler and it will be quieter than if you use the the included one.
