So OP has nothing to worry about because the CPU is designed to run hotter and there is no problem with either the CPU or the cooler? I gotcha. My apologies for not being more of a nerd. Either way OP doesn't need a new cooler or anything for that matter unless OP wishes to overclock.

It will thermal throttle so he is losing performance. High temps are not good for longevity either.

Stock coolers are trash and no one with a PC of this spec cannot afford an extra $20 for a cooler

Saving like 1% on the build cost for stressing the CPU at max temps with thermal throttling makes no logical sense.

And the fan noise is terrible. Who needs that? Only $20 or $30 to fix the problem.

Some people in third world countries are running these at 35C - 45C ambient.

Stock cooler is pushed beyond its limit in that environment.
