would a stock cpu cooler work? (intel)

Yes, a stock cpu cooler would work. The trick is attaching it to the led. Use a drill to drill holes for screws and then thermal gel to force the heat to the plate.

No not without fan for sure. I tried a 2 inch thick 5 inch diameter cpu cooler with no fan and within 3 minutes it (the heat sink) is hot enough to melt your skin if you touch it. With enough air flow and a cooler ambient temperature (I would say roughly 70 Deg F./ 23 Deg C ) you might be fine.

This is very dependent on the stock cooler. If it was ment for a processor that could disipate 100 watts efficiently then yes. Just remember that heat kills LED devices, so I would reccomendations doing homework and making sure the cooler is designed for at least 120 was of heat disipation. Then you know it will be safe. And as always, if you run the LED at 2 to 4 volts under rating you can actually barely tell and yet extend the life of the LED for much longer. Best of luck to you and if you have the choice always choose an active fooling device over a passive for this high output LED due to the increased heat output.

You can get a heat sink, fan (12 volts), and Len's combo on eBay for $20. remember light takes 34V to operate. Do Not Hook The both them in parallel. Yes it comes with a CPU Heat sink.

Well, it would work but you "might" have to ease down on the overclocking or not overclock at all. Note that I said might thus you might just get away with it, but I dont think youd have a problem at all on stock.

Short answer is yes this will keep your CPU very cool, but make sure you have enough room to install it in your computer case this is a tall cooler almost 5 inches.

Yes! Be sure to use cpu thermal heatsink grease! "Caution" when using a lower grade cooler failure is at a higher risk!

Depending on the quality of the chip(they don't call it the silicon lottery for nothing), you should be able to get around 4.2Ghz on the stock cooler.

The stock cooler inst all that bad. If you plan on overclocking I would go for a Hyper 212 evo. Mine stays at around 13-14c while idling with stock cooler though.

Yes it will work but if you only have two sticks of ram you probably don't need it.If your going for looks though there great for that . I have 32 gigs of ram a total of 8 sticks so they not only look good but they do a great job of keeping the ram cool.GOOD LUCK AND WATCH YOUR COOLER IF YOUR NOT USING LIQUID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It will work but I would not recommend using the factory heat sink and fan. Definitely upgrade to a higher end unit. If you have the room inside your case a closed loop CPU water cooling unit would work wonders for keeping the temp down.

Yes you can. Watch out for aftermarket cpu coolers. You might have to mod the case like I did to get a coolermaster evo to fit.

Yes and Yes; YOUr cooler is one that fits all motherboards and big ram(good cooler but stock) intel turbo boost increases temps to 50C___ STOCK. Three strips of grey thermal TAPE on the cooler itself. BUT you can live without intel turbo boost with this cpu temps drop to 20c to 30c (very good). I LOVE MY CPU AND I WANT IT TO LAST (BETWEEN ME AND YOU THIS CPU IS A MONSTER).

Yes, as long as you get a motherboard that's compatible with the case (ATX or micro-ATX mobos) and the i5 chip (LGA 1150 socket). After-market cooler is up to you depending on how hot/cold you want your CPU running. The chip will come with a stock cooler.

I would say so. It came as a cooler master cooler that had heat pipes already on it. It was copper. It is the beefiest stock cooler I have ever seen just keep in mind that the stock cooler meets the standards of keeping the processor cool enough to function properly. I would get something better if your planning on using processor intensive programs. Or monitor your temp and clean it every time it is dusty.

I'm sure Intel has a stock cooling solution. I use this: Zalman CNPS9900MAX-B Long Life Bearing CPU Cooler Blue LED. It's quite a bit larger - stands up vertical - but it keeps the CPU nice and cool. I've checked right after playing Battlefield 3/4 and the CPU temp is always around 37C. The video card temp is another story!

Boy, there are a lot of variables there!!! I'm on a MSI motherboard with liquid cooling and have no problems. The RAM isn't all that tall. I am making a guess but it should work...that is a very popular cooler.

Yes, but you should not use a CPU fan connection. Use one of the other motherboard fan connections. There are usually three of these available to power case fans. Piggyback if you run out.

No. This board will only hold amd CPUs. Not Intel. But I'm sure asrock makes some good intel boards.

It works well if the this CPU fits into the case. This CPU very reliable, quiet also remains cool under load.
