If you aren't going to OC then the stock fan is OK. There are a lot of HSF out there for $25 so they aren't expensive. I would probably get one anyways. The only downside to them is their size could make it difficult to access the 12v connector and RAM, and you may want/need to remove the MB when you want to swap them. This is same for a stock fan as well, since I can't see the white prongs on the stock HSF during insertion.

I am now a Gigabyte fan. Sticking to Asus is old school. Things have changed with time. The last few Gigabyte MB I have used have had less bugs than Asus.
