The stock cooler is terrible.

However, if you build your case with proper airflow and you plan not to overclock then you can get away with the stock cooler

The stock cooler is a little noisy for a small room

stock cooler is great, destroyed a 3dMark test, i can pretty much run all my newer games on high or max settings

that is what a purchased because the stock cooler is terrible

The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because stock cooler is crap, i was

The stock cooler is definitely not sufficient

I am able to OC with stock cooler (even

The stock cooler had Cooler Master etched in the plastic fan border while my friends had something else (it was three letters beginning with A, don't remember exactly)

i would give 5 stars but the stock cooler is very very loud and i live in a small apartment so you can not escape the noise

Not that is overly hot but the noise from the stock cooler will be very loud

The stock cooler is horrible, Insanely loud and inadequate.

The stock cooler provided with the CPU however might as well be dead weight

Just again care about temps when on the stock cooler

drop the stock cooler and get an after market colling system.

Yep, that’s right the stock cooler

I could only get about a 4.3ghz stable clock with stock cooling

i would give 5 stars but the stock cooler is very very loud and i live in a small apartment so you can not escape the noise

I was worried about the stock cooler, but mine does look different than what others received, and I couldn't be happier

My one tip is, don't settle for the stock cooler, under load it is as loud as Apollo 12 lifting off the launch pad

Used the stock cooler, overclocked to 4.4ghz with no voltage bump

Amazing product, works very well, runs very smooth, and stays cool (from my experience with the stock cooler and without OC)

Though it comes with stock cooler, a quieter and better performing after market cooler like the 212EVO is the perfect match.

To start off the stock cooler is loud and kind of

Definitely do not use the stock cooler, it basically just makes a lot of noise and doesn't actually cool the CPU

About the cooling, since I dont overclock, the Stock cooler is doing a great job, no overheating or anything, but to be fair this might be due to the Rosewill Blackhawk case with its great airflow and multiple fans, and the Asus Motherboard with its thermal design

The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because stock cooler is crap, i was

Again this is with stock cooler and a case with not a lot of great air flow

Stock cooler was inadequate for heavy rendering use

The stock cooler is a little noisy for a small room

The stock cooler is terrible.

The only thing i did not like was the stock cooler (it was loud

Gets VERY HOT though, and the stock cooler that comes with it sounds like a jet engine while playing games, so I suggest something aftermarket.

Because the processor itself is so powerful I have not needed to overclock which helps keep it nice and cool (even with the stock cooler, which has been pleasantly efficient for everyday use)

I would not recommend the stock cooler

Stock cooler was inadequate for heavy rendering use

The stock cooler runs at an annoying speeds when CPU is in heavy use and would recommend third party solution

This new CPU exceeds 10,000, roughly 60% more powerful, while still having the same TDP and power consumption of 125W.Not only that, but it is a good little overclocker out of the box AND on air with the stock cooler (which happens to be made by CoolerMaster).You can easily get this bad boy to 4.7GHz just by upping the multiplier and having the voltage around 1.35v, which brings the CPU Passmark score up to 10,300, surpassing Intel's $329 i7-3770k, and being on par with the more expensive FX-9370 (which also consumes way more power, as it is a 220W TDP part) Keep in mind, this CPU is only meant to compete with the i5-3570, which is still slightly more expensive, and yet this AMD chip completely blows it away

There are (relatively easy) fixes, but if you're looking at something that's just plug-and-play with the stock cooler and no tweaks, you should look at an Intel solution

the stock cooler that comes with it is extremely loud and sucks at keeping cool the FX 8350

I know the stock cooler is crap, but I should not be getting these type of temps if I'm not overclocking

With stock cooler, I'm rendering a 1080p 60fps video as I type this, and my max temp so far is 53c

Though I didn't use it, the stock cooler is surprisingly beefy and looks to be a step above Intel's boxed heatsinks

However, the stock cooler is meant for nothing other than day-to-day use.

Since then took the stock cooler off and put it on my other chip (an OCd 6300 which had an adequate but weaker stock cooler) and now, with a copper cooler and good silver paste it literally runs at room temp all the time.

It kept up with all the gaming I was doing but eventually started causing some freezing due to overheating with the stock cooler

excellent processor, knocked off 1 star for the junk stock cooler, but besides that i absolutely love it

By no means is this uncommon for AMD, and this review would have received 5 stars, if not for AMD providing the WORST stock cooler in existence

With stock cooler I overdrove it to 4.8 GHz but never felt the need

I would not recommend the stock cooler

The only CON I have about this CPU is that the stock cooler is like a jet engine when being pressured

If you are overclocking your CPU I would never recommend using the stock cooler, but if you are leaving the card as

Im going to start by saying that, while the stock cooler is more than good enough for anyone who isn't overclocking, if you plan to overclock you pretty much need after market cooling

but if you cared for the stock cooler, be confident it will be a cooler master fan.

Holy s***.

, get Intel, I have seen this kind of recommendations since the phenom ii was released, and I have always went with AMD for my home PC's, and just like I found with the old Athlons, the FX’s, and Phenom II’s, this is an awesome chip for Gaming or any other use you can possibly come up

n’t go wrong with this chip.

Very Very Fast and Runs Cooler than my old Phenom II 1075T

This thing sits at 26-30°C idle and while under the load of gaming while streaming twitch and listening to music I get 50-55°C, so all in all amazing chip

With water cool it idling about 19 C

Temperature idle 25 - 30 C and during 100% cpu load it is around 53 Celcius

Granted this game on ultra settings cannot break 60 FPS even with a Titan/ i7 4990K....
