Cooler, Keep or Return?

Hey,

I just recently bought an i7-4790k to upgrade the i5-4460 in my current (1080p) gaming PC.

I bought a cooler for it, before, and it just came in today. The cooler is a SilverStone AR09-115XS.

According to one user here fasauceome who I have been conversing with, he says it'll be fine, but that it won't be any better than the current cooler my computer has with it's i5 processor. He recommended that I get an SilverStone AR06.

Since I already have the ar09, and returning it to new egg, would be a hassle considering I bought it as a guest, would the AR09-115XS be good enough to keep, or should I try to return it and get the ar06?

Guest appearance here, surprise

 

Since you already have the cooler you should just see if it's up to your standards. No need to return it if it works, even if the AR06 would be better

 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?
