The stock heatsink's mounting bracket isn't very secure so it's easy to have it improperly mounted which would cause your cpu to run hotter. The stock heatsink is also small so it's heat capacity is low and doesn't do a great job of dissipating large amounts of heat from the cpu. The stock heatsink has a smaller fan that has to turn quicker so it's noisier than a larger fan. For example, my motherboard be default runs all the cores at 4.4GHz all the time, so technically that's overclocking.

But you motherboard might overclock your cpu by default. That cpu has a base clock of 4GHz and is supposed to be able to turbo one core to 4.4GHz.

Really the only time I would use the stock heatsink is if I were really short on funds and space and if I knew I wasn't running the cpu full blast all the time. I can't remember the last time I broke a cpu, especially that they automatically throttle back when they get too hot, probably somewhere in the 90-100C range. In the past, the quickest way to void the warranty was to damage a cpu pin, but those are in the socket now so you really only need to worry about not damaging anything in the socket. The stock heatsink is compact but cheap it's the same heatsink that's bundled with most of their processor line, even the cheaper cpus. If you can use almost anything but the stock heatsink, I would use that instead. I has gone through 3 MBs & 4 sets of RAM before contacting Intel for a CPU classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours I had to have one of my i5-4670K CPUs replaced when it wouldn't boot with memory in the 2nd channel on the MB. 'Hey Intel this isn't working & is under warranty' 'OK do you want a standard replacement or advanced replacement?'. The Intel warranty support process is pretty easy. That is the extra $ you pay vs the non K editions. The K edition processors support overclocking from the factory. If it is the temp of the cores then it isn't to bad. Is the the temperature of the cores or the case temp? If that is the case temp that seems high.

I assume that if I don't overclock and use intel's fan and heatsink I am covered under their warranty.

I have I higher priced cooler master but did not install it. In reading the warranty it looks like I should be covered. I bought the boxed intel with the intel fan and heatsink which implies to me that if I use their heatsink and fan I should be covered under the warranty for 3 years. using 7 cores and part of a core for the cpu.
