Is it safe to use the stock cooling for the i3-2100 for gaming?

I'm not going to try to overclock (Though I think the 2100 is locked), but I'm going to play games like Crysis 2, Steam games, CoD, etc. Is it same to use the fan and heatsink that came with the i3-2100 for these things?Is it safe to use the stock cooling for the i3-2100 for gaming?
The stock cooler is fine for gaming. Gaming never takes a newer processor like the i3-2100 to 100% max anyway. You have to run a Stress test like Prime 95 to do that. If the stock CPU cooler is properly installed, it should be enough to cool the i3-2100 even if you were running a stress test.



People screw up the installation all the time. On top of that they don't have enough sense to clean their system. Not being lazy and keeping your house cleaned and vacuumed will help a lot. Since this cuts down on the dust.



And... don't smoke cigarettes around your computer. The tar will stick to the heatsinks.Is it safe to use the stock cooling for the i3-2100 for gaming?
Companies will never include fans/heatsinks that aren't sufficient for a CPU that's at max load. If their parts failed without you even overclocking, their reputations would fail.Is it safe to use the stock cooling for the i3-2100 for gaming?
Right, because Intel is going to include a heatsink/fan that can't properly cool the CPU.



Of course it'll be fine.
