Hello once again, as you can see in my video at youtube

SWF file

I am currently just waiting for my bro to come and do the rest...(well the power stuff)

But my real question is this, Is a regular stock cooler just fine if not overclocking? \

The stock cooler is a piece of s***. Even stock it allows the CPU to run hot. In spec, yes, but it heats your room up.

Buy a CPU cooler. WELL worth the money.

What are you temps?

Check with CoreTemp.

My room is always cool and ventilated also. Stays around 24C.

Stock is fine if u dont OC.
Even if u do oc u can get good results. An aftermarket cooler IS quieter tho.

An aftermarket cooler is better than the stock cooler if you plan to overclock.

An after market cooler is not mandatory if you're not over clocking but it keeps you CPU cooler in most cases. Even lower end model do have better performances than the stock cooler. Anyways there is nothing wrong with getting an after market cooler and lowering you temps 10C - 15C lower than with the stock one. I mean if you got the budget why not and if you ever decide to try your hands at OC then you'll be ready.
