I occasionally run relatively pretty "long" CPU tasks (<5mins). I have a Intel Core i7 3770 CPU. I do not OC. If I get a aftermarket CPU cooler, does that mean I can hit the turbo longer at the max turbo bin?

No. It just means it will be louder than it could be with a better cooler, and/or that your stable overclocking levels may be more limited than with the stock cooler.
