I was just wondering if my build right here would need a heatsink and I don't plan on overclock :)

If you are not planning to overclock no you will not need to buy any heatsinks or aftermarket cooler as the cpu comes with a stock cooler which is sufficient enough to keep the cpu cool
 


Oh, but will my build get too hot without the cooler?
