This might be a dumb question but if I decide to use a intel stock fan instead of a after market fan will it cause my cpu to lose life over the years?

p.s. I plan on installing a after market fan later but to save cost decided to stick with stock (I know I cant oc with the stock fan just making sure that the fan dosnt actually slowly kill my cpu)

Your warranty is actually void with an aftermarket cooler. The stock cooler will work just fine. Intel would not release something that would kill their CPUs.

Don't worry about it, your CPU will live a very long time whether its the stock heatsink or an aftermarket.
