I've no experience with this CPU but from what I hear they will easily do 4.5GHz ?

What sort of CPU cooler would be required for either.
4GHz
4.5GHz ?

The reason I ask is because I recently did a 4690k build for a friend on a stock cooler, OC'd to 4.3ish and it doesn't go above 70 on the stock cooler at 100% load..

Thanks :)

For a £50 CPU, the benchmark figures in games look great.

Primary use is ARMA 3 anyway so a high-Hz dual core is fine I reckon.

I'll find out tomorrow, ordered a couple earlier :)

Might do some benchmarks too, with a 960 and a 980.
