i5 6500 heatsink

[jblondon]

Hey guys

Bought the skylake i5 6500. Is the heating that comes with it good enough for a little bit of potential overclocking or should I buy a third party one?

Thanks

the stock cooler isnt very good, you might get 4-4.2ghz but really you should get something like this

or this

Should be ok up but keep an eye on temps, an aftermarket cooler not only keeps temp down but also noise.
