Can this easily reach 4.1GHZ on STOCK COOLER in summer? on open case?

Yes pretty easily. My ambient temperature is 30C and I tested out on the stock cooler without overclocking at stock it would be around the 63C to 68C from what I recalled without a case running at 100% with prime95, if I am not wrong. It highly depends on your voltages setting. To reach 4.1ghz you would need around 1.18V to 1.2V it depends on your silicon luck. Increasing from the stock voltage to 1.2V is about a 5C increase at that clock speed. So at 4.1ghz you should be a around the 70+C range. The temperature jump from going from stock voltage to 1.2V is small for this cpu.. It is only when you go 1.2V and beyond that the temperature would sky rocket. I managed to push to 4.4ghz with stock cooler running prime95 at 100% and the temps would peak at 86C to 90C but I am at 1.3V already. All I can say is the stock cooler is surprisingly sufficient for the clocks you are going for. Getting any other cheap cooler at $20 would do much better than stock cooler though.

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?
1366827
I would guess no... I would get a 3rd party cooler which would probably work.
1366828
I would use another case fan over leaving the case open. I doubt stock cooler would cover full overclocking without instability.

I will say that I OC'd this cpu to 3.9Ghz and it runs at 63°c with stock cooler. I think it's rated up to 90°c but I wouldn't run it that hot. Hope this helps out a bit.

I am running 4.6 using 1.29 and I am under a custom loop with dual 220 rads with temps under load about 40, load is check temps after 2 hrs of gaming. hardly any heat put out for this dual core, simple overclocking, have no pressed for 4.8 yet

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.

It's going to vary based on the chip and motherboard, but I got 4.3 ghz just by turning on OC genie on my motherboard with the stock cooler.

if it's the 1150 compatible than it shouldyou might run into memory clearance issuesI used the hyper 212 evo and it was close as far as the heat spreaders not touching , got about 1/8" to 1/4" clearance with the 212with the 212 and a 4770k had it OC'd to 4.4ghz and it only got to 60*c running Prime95 for 12 hours

it's 80mm and very quiet so it can't be much (on their site it lists as 1200RPM, but no CFM rating. and 26.5dBA), however after installing it I saw avg CPU temps drop 3-4 degrees C, as well as internal temps by several degrees. My video card splits the case in half so there was less air intake for the upper half (intake fans are on lower half). This gets air to the heatsinks for all the motherboard chipsets and RAM which is then sucked out the back quite nicely.

The stock cooler inst all that bad. If you plan on overclocking I would go for a Hyper 212 evo. Mine stays at around 13-14c while idling with stock cooler though.

Well, It comes with a Heat sink and fan, but I wouldn't use it. Then again, I Over Clock. I never installed the stock Heat sink. I ordered a Corsair A-70. I run mine at 4.2GHZ and it goes to 44.8C under stress test. You reference the SK-4, that would also work well. But If your not going to OC, no need for after market HS.

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.

Yeah, it handles it pretty well. I'm running an FX 8320 at 4.55GHz rock solid. I could go higher, but my Hyper 212 Evo can't handle the heat. As for GPU OCing, that's gonna depend on the GPU, and how much juice your power supply can get to it.

yes but the stock heatsink is not all to great. on my system with the stock cooler the temps were from 45-80 C. I bought a hyper tx3 from cooler master and now my temps stay from 35-55 C. Maybe look into getting a hyper 212 evo for like $30. its a really good cpu though very good for gaming.

i got a Corsair H80i to cool a 4770k and the temps are pretty cool, idle 33 C and load 47, never over 50 C

nooooo way, the standard cooling barley covers the cpu without overclocking. And remeber, when you start changing your processor's settings you invalidating the warritny. The fans they provide really arent engineered to maintain that sort of heat. However, you can purchase a nice cheap cooler master aftermarket fan like i did. It cost me 15 bucks and is actually better than watercooling which can be coslty to obtain and costly to clean up if you screw it up
846721
yes, but best buy a coolermaster 212 or hidro for better performance overclock to 4.1 - 4.3 - 4.7 ghz

I had this on my i5-4690k running at stock speeds and it was hitting mid 60s under max load. Unless you are trying to make an ITX build I would highly recommend you just stick with liquid cooling.
988999
I got mine up to 4.7 and kept it below those temps under load with the stock AMD closed loop liquid cooler. At 4.4Ghz mine stays under 55C under load, At 4.7 it stays around 65c under load, and at 5.0Ghz it can get as hot as 75c under load. 4.7ghz is 100% stable but 5.0ghz isn't exactly stable but I haven't done a ton of tweaking with the voltages and my cooler is only the AMD 120mm closed loop liquid cooler in push-pull so it's not top of the line by anymeans. Keep in mind just because mine acts this way it doesn't mean everyones will, every piece of silicon is different and there are so many variables such as what cooler you have, how good of airflow you have, how well you applied the thermal paste, and what kind of thermal paste you're using.

I'm using the stock fan with an i7-4770. No heat problems, and it's pretty quiet.

Yes it will be fine. I've ran 2 CPUs with this fan that is over 95w and it works fine. Now if you tried gaming the temp wouldn't go critical if you have a well ventilated case.
