Ryzen 1600 Stock Cooler

[dawnrr]

Hi! If im not looking to overclock my cpu is the cooler than comes with the 1600 good enough? Im just looking for it to stay under 65 degrees, or if i am going to overclock it is it worth buying an aftermarket cooler and applying thermal paste, or is it better to use the stock cooler and thermal paste. Sorry if its confusing i've got some stuff ready to be shipped as i write this and the supplier says i can order a few more items before it leaves the warehouse, Thanks!

You'd have to make up your mind about overclocking.

The stock cooler is supposed to be adequate for a light overclock. If you want to push the CPU as far as it can go, then aftermarket cooler would be more advisable.

Most Ryzen 1600s are maxed out at 4GHz anyway. The Wraith cooler can handle 3.9GHz according to the reviews I've read. Up to you whether or not you want to spend the extra until you try it and see. I put a lig. cooler on my 1600X only because it didn't come with a cooler and I had an Corsair H60 laying around unused.
