Stock Intel Core I7-3770K

[DarrenP]

I was wondering if i could use the stock cooler that came with my Intel Core I7 3770K? I don't mind noise and will not be over clocking... I just want to know if it is powerful enough or cool enough to run my processor chilly, so if someone could please help me with this i'd be very grateful, thank!

I don't know what your definition of "chilly" is, but they wouldn't have packaged the cooler if it didn't work.

Lol xD chilly would be non damaging to the hardware. so whichever temperature that would be? i just don't want to damage the processor or have it run hot with the stock cooler, and the budget is running out...

If installed correctly, the stock cooler will work fine for your needs.

 

[DarrenP]

Correctly would be like how the ****ty instructions depict right?

 

[MattNo5ss]

Yes. Make sure you push all four push-pins in completely and they make a click sound.

Okay thanks, i'm pretty new to building computers so i'm just learning, thanks a lot!

Inspect the pins from the bottom of the mobo you can tell that way. Pins are troublesome and that's the only for sure way I have found.
