Stock cooler is fine, All of the non-overclocked Intel builds we do at school use stock coolers. Eventually the cooler may fail and then you can replace it with another spare stock or a cheapish aftermarket cooler.

Unmatched Compatibility
Zero RAM Interference
Focusing on providing the widest range of
compatibility, the H7 utilizes an asymmetric slanted
heatpipe layout to move the heatsink away from the
RAM zone, Offering optimal compatibility for RAM
with tall heat spreaders on both Intel 115X and
AMD platforms.

The OP asked if he had to buy an aftermarket cooler, but that CPU only is 65W (just a bit more than an i3 that runs cool enough with a stock cooler). Both the Cryoring H7 and the Hyper 212 Evo would be almost silent while keeping the CPU relatively cool at full load, but they are not necessary (though they are a nice addition to a new build).

Agreed. I have the "stock" cooler on my i5 6500 in my small HTPC chassis. Idles at 22C Core temperature. Haven't verified full load temps(use for browsing and light gaming) If your not overclocking, it should be sufficient. It's not really loud either.

i just came across this discussion as i was looking for normal temps on the i5 6600 and am very impressed with the temps of this cpu and its cooler. I am getting 64 Celsius running intel burn test and couldnt believe my eyes. my 4790k at stock speeds hit 90
