I heard for high resolution(4k) gaming, it will be better to buy cpu coolers and case fans. Can i run my rig with stock case and cpu fans? Will i face any high temperature while i will in gaming in 4k???? Will this occurs crash any component of my rig???

 

TIA

 

My rig:

Motherboard ASUS PRIME B250M-PLUS
Processor Intel Core-i5 7400
Ram Corsair Vengeance® LPX 8GB

The resolution you run at doesn't really have any effect on temps, Higher resolutions means more pixels so your hardware may not be able to push as high of a frame rate as if you had say a 1080p or 1440p panel.  Frankly a 1050 ti isn't a 4k gaming gpu, I wouldn't consider your PC in general a 4k gaming PC unless your running like Indie games or Really old game that support 4k resolutions.

i5's don't need aftermarket coolers. You will have temps at 70-80C range, but that still good. Also, GPU should be fine. It might be loud (same with CPU cooler), but not overheating. If you want to know how high temps will climb, run stress test. Like 3DMark, Cinebench, OCCT, Heaver/Valley etc. Its highly unlikely that you get even close to stress test temps under gaming loads. There are some really heavy games that comes close, though. Your bigger issue will be components actually being capable to run games at 4k res and decent to good graphics.
