E6400 Stock HSF?

[ThatDood]

Quick question: If I don't plan on overclocking for the moment, would the stock HSF on a C2D E6400 with AS5 keep the processor cool?

uhh yes, considering they come with the processor...

Guess I should have been more specific. Would it be worth upgrading to an aftermarket HSF or will the stock be sufficient.

Thanks Foz2001, your knowledge is endless

Ya, the stock heatsink/fan is just fine for stock clocks. Upgrading is a complete waste of money in my opinion, sure it may lower your temps a few degrees, but the stock HSF keeps them cool enough as it is.
