of course cpu cooling is very necessary and you will really need a good cooling fan to do it :

for CPU cooling, i always use heatsinks with heat pipes because they are more efficient in cooling CPUs*;;

It’s true that Intel is a little more better in performance compared to roughly same level AMD but will cost more. I think that the lower budget CPUs with AM2 and older socket will slow down future upgrades because most motherboards will ditch those socket types.

If you really want to cool down your CPU, the stock heatsink won’t come into question. You will need something like Zalman CNPS9500. This allows a lot more freedom when it comes to overclocking and removes most of the bottleneck that appears when the CPU gets hot. Of course liquid cooling would be another choice but it’s rather expensive…
