FX-8320 + Stock Cooler

[Damon Cabal]

Since i will be getting the FX-8320 and I won't be OC'ing it(not anytime soon anyway), I was wondering if the stock cooler would work well enough?

The stock cooler is useless , I recommend , to replace it , even if not overclocking.

Will the CM Hyper TX3 be good enough?

Yes better than stock.

If you have a good case, you DO NOT need an aftermarket cooler! I even overclocked my 8320 with stock cooler to 3.9GHz and 4.2 turbo with 1.28v (lower than default). With a 30 mins stress test, CPU temp never got over 55°C (room temp 23°C) and north bridge max 59°C . BUT this is with a good airflow in my Antec 300 case with 2 120mm and 1 140mm fans (all on low).

It's a disgrace a mod is just guiding ppl to buy stuff that is not necessary...
