Because of that I never ordered a heat sink when I built the machine I just used the OEM one, and never changed it out because I never had issues until now. Everything in this machine is high end when I built it, with the exception of the heat sink.

I highly recommend the Domino ALC water cooler. Its about 75 bucks, installs so easily and keeps the CPU a few degrees cooler than most Hsink Fans. I have 3 of them and will continue to buy for my rigs until they stop making it.
The best part about it is the free space around the CPU, so you can easily swap out RAM.
