A stock cooler won't be good for much. You'll have high temps and low performance. I'd really recommend getting a liquid cooler if you want to Overclock. Lots of people like the Kraken, But I have the Deepcool Gamerstorm and it works wonders. The radiator comes in three sizes as well: 120mm, 240mm, and 360mm, all by 120mm. I have the 360 and I never get temps over 50C, but the radiator choice is really dependent on what will fit in your case. Here's a link to the 360:

Which is currently $50 off.
Need a different cooling solution - the existing fan won't help, and the stock cooler isn't suitable.
Unless you're operating in a space with temperatures below freezing

Sorry, I'm having trouble reaching my office in Antarctica regularly, which is why I'm relying on an aftermarket cooler.
Hey everyone, do you have any good cooler suggestions to share?
Hey everyone, what coolers do you suggest checking out?
Best high-end option is the Noctua NH-D15.
For something more budget-friendly, the Cryorig H7 is a solid choice.
