Do you really need cpu coolers?

Is it necessary to buy high end cpu heatsink if your temp is only 40-45c. basing in this link http://www.technibble.com/what-is-my...u-temperature/ i think its safe to use the stock heatsink.

kinahanglan bro, labi na mag overclock ka... kay mo-init man kung stock ra imong gamiton... para sad ma-extend ang lifetime sa imong cpu... you don't want to run you cpu so hot, kay sigurado gyud na, nga dali ra maprito imong processor.

its not really necessary,.....

but it would help on the life-span of ur CPU (as what fish said)
HEAT and DUST are the enemies of the computer hardware,...

i would highly recommend Arctic Silver 5 for you thermal paste...it's very effective...i think the 3.5 gram is around Php500 sa PCX.. i bought mine there...

here's a link from their website:
