[QUOTE="nclr11111, post: 574995, member: 51"] Most of the time the problem with stockcooler is that they use "pushpins" and that one of them are not enough attached to the mobo and therefore the heatsink does not have a 100% contact against the CPU. Those coolers are included and constitutes a baseline in cooling. They are ok to cool the cpu if used for browsing and paying the bills but NOT for gaming! They also comes with preapplied coolingpaste that are not known to be top notch... Virtually any 3.d party cooler you buy will outperform it. If i were you i´d sacrifice some $ and get a new cooler with some decent thermal grease. If not for anything else just to keep the CPU safe. Working at thoose temps will deteriorate it and shorten it´s life! The CoolerMaster you mentioned is a good entrylevel cooler that will perform wonders compared to the stock one. There are better but not at that price. Also get som good thermal grease like [URL='https://www.amazon.com/Arctic-Silver-AS5-3-5G-Thermal-Paste/dp/B0087X728K/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1481404284&sr=1-1&keywords=Arctic+Silver+5']Arctic Silver 5[/URL], [URL='https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Performance-Compound-Interface-Material/dp/B0045JCFLY/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1481404252&sr=1-1&keywords=arctic+mx4']Arctic MX4[/URL] or similar and make sure to apply it according to instructions.
