Wow, that v10 looks massive. Something like that is really best suited for extreme overclocking. It's definitely a good idea to get a third-party heatsink as the ones that usually come with intels are crap, but unless you intend to seriously push your CPU with overclocking, then I think the cooler master v10 is overkill. I overclock mine (an old E8500, looking to upgrade soon actually) and get away with less. I have used the same Arctic Freezer 7 for years and have never had any overheating problems. The Arctic Freezer 7 might not be what you are looking for, but I think you can definitely get away with less than a cooler master v10.
