Question of the day!

[Louis Gervais]

Hello to you CGdirector community, I'm planning tu buy, piece by piece, a pc in the following weeks.
i was only wondering if I need additional cooling, the cpu already comes with its fan... but I'm thinking the build will need more than that.

please pardon my ignorance, this is my first ever build.

Hey Louis,
The CPU's stock cooler is decent, though if you think you'll be either doing long sustained loads or even using PBO or some other overclocking mode, then yes I'd recommend to get another cooler such as the beQuiet Dark Rock Pro 4.
