Solution amanchandra Aug 11, 2017 Please invest in an aftermarket cooler, as the intel's stock cooler is not that good enough, especially when comparing with Ryzen's Wraith coolers. You can go for the cheap and best Cooler Master 212 EVO https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103218&cm_re=cooler_master_212-_-35-103-218-_-Product Currently the LED version is on sale, so go for that one if you have a tempered glass panel. Or if you want an AIO Liquid cooler, go for Corsair Hydro Series H100i https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181103 All awesome. But do remember with intel i7's, it's a general rule to buy a cooler.
