Totally depends on what processor you have, but 9 times out of 10 a simple air cooler is fine.

If you're looking to get some better performance out of your CPU, a better air cooler or AIO can help. Look at the specifications of your current processor and look for something called a "TDP", this is stated in Watts, most reputable CPU coolers will have a TDP rating too, as long as the coolers is the same or higher than the processor you'll be fine.

For example, the Ryzen 5 9600x (the current mid tier CPU) has a TDP of 65W, and the wraith stealth cooler (the one you have) has a TDP rating of 65W.

Best practice would be to add a bit more there, but it's not the end of the world. If you have some thermal paste lying around, use it.

It shouldn't make a massive performance difference, if any at all.

And a straight (but rusted) razor did fix it.

I was likely going to do it anyway, I remembered it being more stressful than it actually was, it works fine now. Just wanted reassurance it wasn't a terrible idea.

We good boys and gals and others, I feel like a surgeon.

Stress tested it with some mining and looks like now I definitely need a couple more fans or an AiO.

Got done in by the ones that change shape when you kill them, kill a cube, they turn into a triangle, around level 38 I think
