THE BEST LGA 1155 CPU OUT THERE! PENTIUM G620!!! Now I plan on upgrading to a i5-2400 soon. (no i will not change my motherboard never) and I know you might say why get a Cooler Master Cpu Cooler for a damn pentium? Well that's because I can't stand it's temps being in the high 60's while gaming :")

nothing wrong with them being it the 60's? It's rated for 69.1c you can run it at that 24/7 for the life of its warranty and they would still uphold it.

I think you misunderstood , I meant that the stock cooler gave out those temps.

Still nothing wrong with that, up to 90c is not issue (Wouldn't want it that high 24/7, but its safe).

it's not going over its thermal limit, so why spend money now?

 

That cheap cooler you linked will do the same as the stock.

The tcase rating is for the ihs. Core temps will generally be higher. 

 

60c is low for load temps. There's no need to spend money on a slightly better cooler yet.
