Aftermarket cooler for i5-6500

I've got an i5-6500 on a H170 chipset board that can't be overclocked. I am currently still using the stock Intel CPU cooler that came with the 6500. Is it worth the extra money to buy something like the Hyper 212 evo to cool my cpu or is the stock cooler fine until I upgrade to something overclockable? 

 

I'm not seeing any thermal issues, I was just curious about the necessity of an aftermarket cooler.

The stock cooler is fine, wait until you get something overclockable then worry about getting an aftermarket cooler, for you're cpu the stock fan is fine :)

Extra cooling is always useful to help your CPU turbo up.  Quiet is also a really nice plus.  I recommend the Cryorig H7.

You don't need an aftermarket cooler for that CPU, just use the stock one.

The 6500 can maintain the max turbo without going above 55-60 degrees all day long on the stock cooler. Skylake and Kaby lake non-k i5s are super efficient.

Turbo is stock feature. Intel wouldn't supply stock coolers if they couldn't keep up with Turbo'd CPUs. That said, my 4770K uses only 1.1V while turboing. Which is .2V less than max recommended voltage.
