Cooling for i5-6500

You aren't going to overclock an i5 6500 unless you have one of about 3 or 4 specific Z170 motherboards with an older BIOS version so it's not even an issue.

Stock cooling is fine for stock chips.

If you are going to do any CPU intensive tasks/games i would recommend getting an aftermarket cooler, the stock cooler seems a little weak. I've been using the hyper TX3 EVO from Cooler Master and I've had no problems dont think my cpu has 70C. (I haven't over clocked my i5 6500 but if I was I may as well have bought the i5 6600k)
