Do you think the stock CPU fans that Intel ships out are sufficient or should a better one be purchased?

A better one, should be purchased.
Intel makes great CPU:s however their fans are way below of ****.
Same goes for AMD, except for the black edition, purchasing them will give you a copper piped cpu heat sink fan etc etc. Which is kinda good. However always best to buy a 3rd party CPU fan.

I bought an awesome 3rd party fan. The thing was huge! It had two fans and copper pipe that ran through heat-sink. The fans blew the air threw the heat sink which were targeted at the case exhaust fan to pass out the heat. Simply awesome!!! However, it would not fit in my case.

My case has 5 fans on it already and one is on an arm inside the case. This arm is what prevented the fan from fitting. I had this fan: Cooler Master Hyper N520 (RR-920-N520-GP) for Intel Socket (LGA775/ LGA1366) and AMD Socket (754/ 939/ 940/ AM2/ AM2+) with Pure Coupper Base & Heatpipes

I left the i7 running all night and checked this morning. All 8 CPUs (4 real, 4 virtual) were running below 40c. What temperature do you recommend getting them at? What fan do you recommend?

If that's the temperature you get with default settings then its okay temps, if you overclocked that temps are awesome. So no need to get anything else :>

No, I didn't overclock. I haven't overclocked anything since 1998. I don't even know how to overclock. How do you overclock?

Well, have to you applications that can change the voltage and current of current CPU-utilization.
Some motherboards have an option in bios suited for overclocking.

That is neat. Back when I did it (and the only time I did it) you had to move jumpers around. You ever done that to overclock?

[Termana]

Personally, I don't really see the point of overclocking when you really gain very little from it (from what I've seen). Personally I'd just leave it in a working condition rather than try and burn the thing out by playing with it. Is it simply the hardware tampering and pushing the barriers aspect that you like about overclocking?
