Do I need a new CPU Cooler??

Hello, 

3 months ago I Build myself a new Pc. 

 

Here are the specs: 

ryzen 9 3900x

gigabyte aorus 3070 gaming oc

32gb corsair veangeance rgb pro

 

The Problem is that I am using the AMD Stock cooler. I now that there are better cooling solutions but I don’t want to change the cooler. So my question:  Do I have to get a new CPU Cooler or can I still use it?

I'm a little confused on what you are asking. Are you asking if there is a better way to cool your CPU without changing your cooler?

geometry is hard
b550 > x570

Oh. What are your temps currently? What are you using your CPU for?

I use it for Gaming and Video editing. While gaming for about 2 hours my temps are about 90-93 don’t know for sure. And while Video Editing I get 80-90. But again don’t know for sure. But i will look after that in the next days. 

But after I read not just here but also in other Forums, Reddit and on Discord that I don’t have to Upgrade the Cooler as long as I don’t OC. I don’t think I will upgrade my cooling.

You don't have to upgrade it. If you want you could snag a Hyper 212 for $30 USD but you don't have too

Thank you sooo much. I now have a better feeling while using my PC 🙂 . And i have to correct something temps while gaming are even a bit lower between 80/82 to 90. And I will keep in Mind that it isn’t expensive upgrading my cooling but I don’t want to. But when you say that it isen’t Bad for my cpu I will not upgrade.
