Great processor with a very minor issue

It is a great processor with a very simple caveat. When purchasing this processor I took it for granted that the stock fan would be enough to cool the processor and keep in great working order. I found out quickly unless I went into the BIOS and changed the fan to a higher speed that the processor would quickly and easily after about 10 min overheat. Having to ramp up the speed on the stock cpu fan gets noisy fast. To fix this problem is very simple and inexpensive. It is necessary to purchase an (Arctic Freezer 33 eSports ONE) cpu cooler. This cpu heat sink uses heat pipes and a super silent fan to keep the noise way down. You don't need an expensive water cooling unit. This setup is also geared for overclocking the cpu to around 4.0 ghz.
