thanks anyone
Most are adding 80mm fans to over the largest part of the heatsink. The included fan can be used just fine if it fit behind your cooler. It is intended for watercooling set ups as the NB/SB no longer get any draft from CPU cooler. And they say it can cause air noise in combo with big CPU cooler fans if thats an issue for you.

The CNPS9500 is a nice peice for average spd and mild overclock. It runs out of cooling after a certain point. As for better, in terms of cooling for overclocking, I like the ThermalRight Ultra 120 eXtreme. This cooler is truely the performance quality of water, on air.
