Should I buy cooler for this graphic card?

My card runs Battlefield 4 quite/cool and I do not use any additional cooling. I think you need to evaluate the environment you have for your PC as well. The room I have my rig in is cool and well ventilated which I know is a contributing factor. If you plan to overclock too, that will be a determining factor. I recommend buying this card (or any) and run it the way you intend to, then determine if you need any additional cooling. I do run a Corsair H60 on my CPU.

I run BF4 and have no reason for additional cooling. I would recommend a case with a 120mm intake on the side, mine has two that sit coincidentally right below the gpu, so my 660 stays around 50 degrees C, rarely gets over 65 C. Its a good card. My second is on the way so I can SLI.

I would just take that money and get a better model card. You should definetely look at other manufacturer cards like Asus or MSI. Both cards will give you much better cooling and in turn will make your card last longer and will allow you to overclock more.

The heat sink/fan caused me some trouble. I'd reckon you consider the Sapphire Radeon 7750 LPF as it is a proper Low profile card ad noticeably more powerful.

This unit is fan cooled just like most units. Performance is acceptable for a mid-tier graphics card.

Stock cooler is pretty weak but you could probably manage it. Why not go for something a little more substantial for ~$25-30 to be safe?

I am using it for gaming with an I7 4790 running at stock speeds. I am just using air cooling with a cooler master 212. Even when running pretty demanding video games and second monitor it is still only hitting mid to high 30's. I think you could probably even play 3d games fine with stock heat sink if you don't mind the noise.

AMD says it's supposed to run hot. To keep cool, turn up fan on card, have well venelated case, or use external fan. Card is so worth it. Buy it.

I would guess no... I would get a 3rd party cooler which would probably work.

You can always add a fan or heatsink? I usually add both to all my cards if they don't have them.

I need sizes on your video cards. There is more than enough air flow to keep it cool....2 fans in front, 1 large fan on the side, 1 fan on top and one on back!

Stock cooler is fine. It's noisy, though. It may also depend on your case set up - you might have less air flow in your case and/or maybe running Crossfire or SLI with 2 hot GPUs. I have since bought a Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO, which is awesome. I have a Coolermaster HAF Tower, so I have good air flow in my case naturally. In any case, I doubt you'll have over-heating issues with the stock fan and heatsink without overclocking it.

Honestly I haven't had any problems with this card. As long as you have a decent sized case with good airflow you should be just fine.

It's a really small form factor graphics card. Still will need two slot space, since cooler is bulky.

No. If you plan to overclock, get other product that has better cooling system.

It would depend on how big the cooler is and if it goes all the way to the bottom of the card. If you are using dual discrete graphics cards, then you probably don't want to be using FM2+. Might want to look at the AM3+ CPU's?

The Boxed Processor as shown has the stock fan & heatsink. It is fine as long as you don't plan to Overc lock. If you do, then you would need a third party cooler.

Yeap, this cooler suite great to LGA1150.But you should be careful, it's huge, check that you have enough space in your PC.

It should work but i am not a big fan of the cooler. (pun intended) google xfx fan problems
