i m using the same processor as u. think the temp is ok ba. my idle temp is about 40C. play dota 2 time reach bout 60-64C like that. stock cooler also.

using a CM red 90cfm fan at front. bottom was using the original that come with the fan. and a CM red 90cfm at the rear. jus added another enermax TB silence.

but not sure if it helps to bring down the temp or not cause haven try.

if you OC think it will be better to get aftermarket cooler ba.

Generally any aftermarket CPU cooler will do a better job than a stock cooler for sure.

U won't see much improvement at idle even u get the best cooler out there. The only time u will see significant improvement is when u OC at peak load. Mainly due to log mean temperature difference.
