Go to solution Solved by MourningSouls,

It'll keep it cooler, while also being quieter. But for the majority of uses, and provided you have a decent enough airflow setup in your case it will be unecessary.

 

Personally I would do it, after all I did buy the Shadow Rock 2 for my locked CPU.

 

For OCing it should do well enough with a modest OC, I wouldn't do anything extreme with a $30 cooler.

 

Also it should come with decent thermal paste.

Do I really need to buy an aftermarket cooler or is the CPU cooler that comes with the CPU good enough? I was looking to buy the be quiet! PURE ROCK 87.0 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler. 

 

Would it be worth it?

 

 

Does the cpu cooler come with it's own thermal paste to apply? The cooler which comes with the CPU.

If you are going to overclock, buy a aftermarket cooler.

Or if you want lower temps and or lower noise.

It depends. If the Processor is an FX CPU (FX-8350, etc.), don't get an FX. If it's an Intel, and it's a locked CPU (non-K, i3-4160, i5-4460, i5-4590, etc.)  the stock cooler is enough, unless if you are concerned about the noise. Then the Be Quiet! cooler will be great! It does come with thermal paste pre-applied. If it's a K series CPU (i5-4690K, i7-4790K, etc.) then you might want to look into something more expensive like an AIO, so you can overclock.
