Stock cooler (AMD A8-6600k Black Edition) vs Cooler Master CM12V

The 3rd party cooler is almost guaranteed to cool better than the stock cooler, however it may not be necessary. For example, if you do not plan to overclock, there's no need to get a better cooler.

If you do plan to overclock, and aren't going to try anything ridiculous, go for the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. The Cooler Master you linked isn't going to be much better than the stock cooler, so it's a bit of a waste of money. While the 212 EVO is one of the best 3rd party coolers for the money.

I hope that helps!

Yes, I know but I dont want to just open my case change fan and then see the temperatures up (so I will gonna to do it again...) So do you think that OLD CM12V is better than NEW stock cooler?

I think I need some more specifics here... Do you currently have the CM12V in your computer and want to see if you can get lower temperatures by switching it for the AMD stock cooler?

Additionally, do you have some sort of model number or something for the AMD stock cooler? I have no way of checking the specs otherwise.

Keep in mind, the only way to really find out the difference would be to run a Prime95 torture test while using one heatsink, switch heatsinks, then run the torture test again. Record the temperature readings of each.

...and sorry for my unhelpful post. I just didn't know what exactly you were trying to find out.
