I am not planning to overclock.Oh and is it alright if I do not apply thermal paste on the cpu and just stick the fan on since the stock fan already has pre applied thermal paste?

With a pre applied paste on the cooler, you just install it.

If you ever have to remove it, you will have to clean the old stuff and apply new paste.

The stock cooler will keep things in spec, but may be loud for some users tastes. Ensure smart fan control is enabled in the bios to allow the fan to slow down some at idle.

So, the stockfan is a nuisance.I am already thinking of getting a aftermarket fan for 33 dollars since it's a good price.Anyhow, there's pre applied thermal paste on the CPU cooler fan so should I just install the fan?

Yes, it is.And will it be a problem if I just stick the fan on without applying thermal paste on the CPU since there is thermal paste on the CM 212.Oh and those the CM 212 have pre applied thermal paste?
