Ok, since I'm building my firct PC, there are some things I don't know much about. One of the new areas for me is cooling. I know I will probably get into OCing eventually, but initially, I will concentrate on building the thing and getting it up and running. After making sure everything works well and is stable, I'll start learning about OC'ing.
The question I have is, since this is the route I'm taking, would it be too much of a PITA to simply use the generic HSF that comes with the new processor and replace it later? I'm just thinking that with a lot of new parts, if something isn't working right, it may be easier to identify if I try and keep the variables down to a minumum. I understand that when I do want to OC, replacing the HSF is certainly a good idea. This isn't a cost issue, just a matter of how tough it is to replace later on. By the way, the case I'm planning on using (Coolermaster TAC-T01-E1C) has a mobo tray that may make fan replacement a bit easier.
Any thoughts?
