    I am building a PC for a friend who is on quite a tight budget. He will be using an I5 3570K,Currently he will NOT be overclocking at all. I was thinking of getting him a Hyper 212 Evo but the budget is so tight we cannot stretch that far. Doe's anyone know the kinds of temps you would get from a stock cooler when playing games like Crysis,Arma and Battlefield?

    He intends to get a H80 sometime next year but wants to know the kinds of temps he will get with the stock cooler

    He shouldn't get a 3570k if he's not going to overclock; if he plans to I the future, then that's fine. A hyper 212 would get the same overclock as a h80 though and would cost a lot less.

    The stock cooler will be fine for gaming at stock settings (indeed, if you tweak a bit you can probably get 4ghz ou if the stock cooler.
