Well today I was looking at the stock cooler for this generation (Vishera) and is it just me or does the cooler look quite capable, or is it actually crap?

The reason to not overclock on Intel stock cooling is that the headroom is less than aftermarket solutions.I have always read people say to never OC on stock cooling, but this is quite decent, i guess it only applies to Intel
what about the 8300 and 8320?
It seems to vary between countries as he is speaking portuguese in a brazilian accent
Not really. If you remember the Sandy Bridge review, Anand wrote "effortless 4.4Ghz" using the stock cooler (both 2500K and 2600K). The real thing to remember here is to not take what people in forums say very literally - instead, understand the rationale behind it. When you understand the how's and the why's, you do not need to just blindly follow "general rules of thumb for convenience". When they say "don't OC with stock coolers", they don't literally mean "you can never OC on stock coolers". It simply means that while YMMV, you most certainly will have far more headroom and lower temps (i.e., more success and satisfaction) using a far more potent HSF. However, as long as you follow certain constraints (not going beyond max operating temps and reasonable voltage) and be satisfied with whatever OC you can get (be it 100Mhz or 500Mhz), there is nothing wrong with overclocking using the stock HSF.I have always read people say to never OC on stock cooling, but this is quite decent, i guess it only applies to Intel
Try replacing it with a higher quality but same size fan. I bet the amd ones are cheapish and therefore loud. Also certain bearing types are louder than others
Can a fx6300 owner confirm what hsf it comes wih please?
I stuck the stock cooler from my 8120 on my sons +3200 and was louder then fuc......shut you mouth. Sounded like a jet taking off.
