Hey there, let's talk about cpus and stock coolers. Let's particularly talk about the Phenom II X4 965 stock cooler. Is it any good? If a person's not planning to overclock, then is there much advantage in getting a better one? Do you think that running at slightly cooler temperatures would save general wear and tear on your PC's parts?

Yes the stock fan will work fine for the processor it was packaged with as long as you dont OC the living daylights out of it.

I am guessing that if you processor is running fine the way it is that a lower temp wont really effect the lifespan of it

The Phenom II stock fan is quite capable, but very loud. It will keep the CPU cool, but it's not silent.

it will keep your cpu cool as long as you dont overclock, there is really no need to upgrade to a new cooler unless you overclock its this simple.
