However, we're also talking about a non-K chip, so it's not like we are talking about a decent gamer to begin with.
In addition, are you trying to tell me that I am wrong? That putting a Cooler on a Non-K Series chip will actually make it faster? It won't make it faster and while it MAY extend the life, it's lifetime is already so long that it will be replaced long before it stops performing as it does now. Putting a cooler on a non-K CPU is not going to do ANYTHING for it, decent gamer or not.
