Does Anyone Use The Stock Fan?

I used the stock cooler (i5 4670k) until the noise became unbearable. Then I upgraded and overclocked.

after market heatsinks just look better and are cooler and quieter

The only time I used the stock heatsink was when I wanted to double check the CPU temperatures, as I thought my other cooler wasn't mounting properly.

I've never used an aftermarket fan

I've had both AMD and Intel chips and stock serves me well.

Of course, you'd be silly to overclock with it (realistically)
