Most reviews say the stock cooler is decent, but looking for some user confirmation. Only minimal OC'ing planned but my computer room gets hot in the summer. Is an after-market cooler much better? Not wanted to water cool or anything requiring extensive installation. NewEgg has it (2600x) on sale for $209 now, so I might pounce on it.
 
Solution
Should be fine unless you are on max load 24x7, which is highly unlikely. Run it for a while and see, as you can always add an aft one, if it does not satisfy you.
