Hey, I'm just wondering quick if the i5 2500k would work good together with the H67 and the normal stock cooling.

Yes it will, but why would you do it?

What do you mean? What is the downside of using it and what should I use instead?

Well, the 2500K has an unlocked multiplier and is easily overclocked to 4.5+ GHz (not advisable with stock cooling), but for this you need a P67 or Z68 motherboard.

You could ofcourse get the i5 2500 (non-K) which doesn't have the unlocked multiplier.

Increasing voltages and cpu multipliers generates more heat. heat=bad

If you're going to overclock an aftermarket cooler is advised. Something like the Hyper 212 Plus is good enough for most people and cheap.
I'd even say it's better to take one even if you don't overclock, stock heatsinks tend to not be that good at all even for stockspeeds.

But 3.3 to 4.3 does not result in thermal shut-down. Originally Posted by Arslay

The stock cooler also makes allot of noice.Your greed, your foolishness has brought you to this end.

I might add the aftermarket cooler later as I can't really afford it. ;D

i5-2500K is meant for overclocking, with H67 board you can not overclock. There's no simpler way to put it. Originally Posted by Platinus

If your budget can't handle it otherwise, most reasonable trade-off will be getting P67 board you can OC later, and some lower end processor like i3-2100. it will be still good for games and you can relatively easily swap the CPU for beefier model later, and even OC it.Never going to log into this garbage forum again as long as calling obvious troll obvious troll is the easiest way to get banned.
Trolling should be.

Stupid Amazon, trying to find a motherboard they actually can send to my address, everything else seems fine xD

Totally valid choice. There's absolutely no reason to get one unless you want to overclock the processor or you have really bad airflow/high ambient temperature. Living in Australia for example where you have +40C for half year is good reason to start looking at aftermarket coolers to improve PC stability. Originally Posted by Platinus

-edit- Okay.... searched for i5 2500K there. 2 results with the actual CPU. The first is good, the second is 5 euro more expensive and has 6MB
L2-cache, pretty awesome if you ask me. :/Last edited by Asmekiel; 2011-08-23 at 11:28 PM.

All of your other abbreviations mean nothing to me!
There are other site options to use if you can't find a mobo through Amazon, though they may be a less preferred option.
