PC Peripherals DO I need a CPU cooler?

[adi_vastava]

Hello,

I am currently playing games on my E8200 2.66 stock (on EP45-UD3R) with stock cooler.

Current Temps are,

Idle: CPU - 24-26, Core - 37 - 38

Max Load: which means gaming(no benching)

CPU - 48-50, Core - 55 - 58

In case of Max load my mobo OC my CPU to 3.2, so these load temps are at 3.2 Ghz.

I know temps are not very high but does buying a CPU cooler will do any good, I thought of getting one to further add to OC the CPU, but considering I have generic transcend RAM, I dropped the idea as it might not help at all.

(Asking as I have not spend anything on hardware for past 6 months )

care to give a reason why it would?

@OP
If you have money to blow, save it. Get a better GPU once you have enough saved up.

Those temps are fine,i dont see the need for a cooler unless you want to overvolt to get higher oc,but those rams might hold you back.

Hmmm, thought on same line.

Thanks for input guys.

No need to change. You are fine. It has a low Mx so I doubt you will push it too much. Just game..!
