Stock coolers ok?

[nutter]

Are they really safe, for someone like me who won't overclock, would the stock cooler that comes with the I5, be ok?

As far as im aware, the only issue is noise, i can't remember in my last custom rig if was stock cooler.

Any idea how bad he noise is

It will be fine for stock speeds mate

Yes, it will be fine! The only reason you would want to get a better cooler is of you are overclocking or yes, if the stock one is too noisey!!

Don't suppose you tell me how bad the noise is, is it like a hoover

I don't mind abit of noise, just worried is very loud.

It shouldn't be too noisy. Plus they shouldn't sell CPU's with coolers if they won't be able to keep it cool enough!

It will be fine, but even a cheap aftermarket cooler like the TX3 would be miles better than it. Lower temps = a longer life, not just a larger overclock. Not to mention the lower noise.

Ok cheers, guess worth getting at least a better one. Will see how budget goes
