I already have this $20 Chinese cooler:

Anything aftermarket, that is a tower style cooler and has considerably more surface area than the stock cooler is always going to be a step above the stock cooler.

You have the cooler in hand, might as well use it if the mounting hardware lines up without a hitch.
