Heat is a problem and his harmful to the CPU, yeah it'll shut down at 105 degrees, but I aim to keep my CPU at 45 degrees on 100% load.

Keeping the CPU at a optimal temp may increase product life.

But hey, the stock cooler will be able to handle the CPU it came with.

You can get a ~25 C temp idle and 45-50 at max load with most stock heatsinks not Oc'ed, why would you need to lower the temperature more than that, these things can withstand 70+ C and be fine. Don't waster money.
