My build is a top-end computer and has an Intel i7 processor with a hexacore, do I need a colling system for it?
 
Solution
What do you mean? Your CPU comes with a heatsink. If you don't plan to overclock than it should be fine. But if you plan to overclock then get a CPU cooler.

I would defiantly recommend a liquid cooling system for it, something along the lines of a corsair h80i or above.

Also which model of hexcore is it, if its the 3930k you should be fine although some of the models reach a 220w tdp and should be exclusively liquid cooled.
