Should I keep the wraith stealth stock cooler or buy an aftermarket one?

Ok1000

Hi I will buy the Ryzen 5 3600
Should I keep the stock cooler ? is it good enough ?
My country's Temperature is 29 - 33 Celcius

Which is about 85 - 92 Farenheit
at summer times.


I am not planning to Overclock now or any time in the future.

I will be mostly gaming.
So is the stock cooler good enough ?
Or should replace it ?

Until you might start overclocking the stealth cooler will do just fine. You can actually even overclock a bit with it as its kinda overkill as a stock aircooler. I would recommend something better for overclocking though.

I'd rate the cooler as inadequate even at stock settings if you give it a sustained compute load. You can watch the clocks come down as the temps go up, and enjoy the sounds of the fan. Since you get the cooler with the CPU, you might as well try it yourself first before deciding if you want a better one. Gaming loads might not be worst case and you might get away with it in that use case.

I have that cooler. I have not overclocked. It is quite silent. I don't think i will be changing mine for a while. I'd rather save for GPU upgrades and new games.
