After market cooler is a thing to have. Stock HSF is = Garbage. On normal use during summer, when temps go really high, my temp go to 70-85 with just browser, winamp open and playing WoW,NBA 2k12. When using 212 it dropped to 60.

Having a cooler CPU means longer CPU life. For the people who OC with stock cooler, they need to read more. OCing on a stock cooler is a stupid thing to do, it's basically killing your CPU.

Get a 212 EVO it's cheap and very efficient.

PS.
YOU don't need it, but your CPU does.
