oh wasn't aware the new intel cpus didn't come with any heatsinks, I was on about the old intel ones with those frustrating push clip mechanisms that would drive you mad if one did not click but the other 3 did.
Really not sure why AMD put on these bubble gum thermal pads on their stock heat sinks, when they could have attached a small packet with thermal paste.
Inexpensive cooler, cheap thermal compound.
I thought the 3600 and above came with a Wraith Spire/Prism but it looks like the 3600 gets the Wraith Stealth which is not the best for such a hot chip. A cheap-ish upgrade would be a £20 Wraith Prism or try and get one from MM/ebay for less. How does the AMD CPU warranty work if the cooler has been sold?
Agreed, i have the 3600, tho i have never used the Box Cooler it is too small, i can see that, its a chunk of alloy like an inch thick yet still better than the coolers Intel used to supply which was even smaller, the fan on the Raith Stealth is the same as it is on the Spire, its actually is pretty good for what it is.
I would advise anyone with a 3600 to spend about £20 on an after market cooler, it will do the job much better. ironically if you want to keep the AMD theme going with some RGB AMD's own Wraith Prism can be had for £20, for a 3600 that is a good cooler.

If you shop around you can get a pretty good AIO for not much money, which will keep the temps right down.
I bough this one for £40, stress testing temps never go above the low 60's.
