Stock cooler enough?

[megadarkwood]

First, please don't tell me to buy a new cooler, I am going to! This is just a temp thing

 

My question is, will a stock cooler be enough to keep a FX-8150 cool at 100%?

[legopc]

yeah sure thats what the stock cooler is for to cool your cpu and they wouldnt sell it if it didnt cool 

[MzCatieB]

it will but doesnt do it that effectivly... in my opinion its good as a temp.

i always like my CPU and GPU running coolers cause it means it will live longer.

Depends on where your having it at. 

[brownninja97]

It will be fine, just dont overclock.

[M-ursu]

Yes, and you can even OC like 0.2Ghz

[Guest GRRigger]

yes, but noise is unbearable, and heat isnt really helping the chip

try undervolting

[pummetje]

just get a cheap aftermarket cooler or something much better 

[LogicalDrm]

All answers above in short:

Stock cooler is for cooling cpu straight from the box. Its for those who don't think about noise, temps and overclocking. If any of those things is your priority (or important), then aftermarket is better. AMD stock coolers perform bit better than Intel ones.

This question has so many variables, what is your ambient, how is the cooling of your PC, etc. but if you don't OC it then yes.

Honestly, the stock cooler is meant for that... it's just not meant for overclocking

A stock cooler isn't going to magically turn into a 200CFM Delta a MAX RPM. If you run the CPU as is, it'll be fine.

 

This also depends on the internal layout of your case. If there isn't much room, the stock cooler might be too underwhelming. Just look at the workstation video Linus uploaded recently.

I was just about to say the same thing.
