Ryzen 2700 stock cooler vs. aftermarket cooler

minervx

I saw Joker Productions video on Ryzen's new cooler compared to Be Quiet's new $75 cooler.  The difference was shown to be about 5 frames per second in-game.  In all fairness, it probably is a lot quieter.  However, I'm not sure 5 frames is a significant difference.  Is it really worth buying an aftermarket cooler if we can just turn down Shadows from "Ultra" to "Medium" instead?  I do see the concern if, for whatever reason, the framerate is under 50.  But If you're only going from 130 to 135, who cares?

You can always get the cooler later, so if you can't afford it or can't find a reason to get it, then fine stick with the stock cooler.
