It depends on what clock speed you're aiming for. You can still get a light overclock with the stock cooler.

Well its a 3.6Ghz cpu and it has 4Ghz turbo. But i want like 3.8Ghz.

Have you tested it? Dial the overclock and run some stability tests.

I did. I played some demanding pc games and it was on like 65 degress

So long as temps are low you can live with the stock one. Aim for 70*C or lower

That's actually pretty good. If you want to push it further, I agree with @don_svetlio. Get Hyper 212 evo or a Hyper t4
