Cooler advice please.

Hi, I just placed an order for a Pentium G4560 3.50GHz.

Could I use a working Freezer 7 PRO cooler from another build, or just use the stock cooler that will come with the CPU?

Thanks.

Maybe I should have included a cooler me thinks

If you're not going to overclock maybe stick with stock and see the temps.

That's what I was thinking, but may I ask, could I use the Freezer 7 PRO anyway, what do you think?

Is yours a Rev 2? That appears to support the 1151 socket

I don't think it is. I have it a while now.

Don't forget that sockets 1155/1156/1150/1151 all have the same spacing for coolers so if it fits one it will fit them all. The Freezer 7 Pro will easily handle a Pentium if it has the correct mountings.

OK thanks, I try and get a closer look at the one I have.
Thanks.
