Stock Heatsink

Just wondering if the stock cooler that's supplied with this processor is quiet and cool. May overclock the CPU a little bit in the future...

Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-360-IN

If the stock cooler is poor for overclocking this CPU, which cooler would you recommend me buying?

Thanks

got the 2500K and 2600K to 4.4GHZ using stock cooler.

stock heatsink will be enough for stock speeds only, and only just at that, and i imagine it would be loud, not sure what to suggest as far as coolers go

Impressive, the cooler I have been looking at is:

Much cheaper and seems to be very popular due to its performance and price,

thoughts?
