Yeah - it was a shift in my thinking a couple years ago - as I researched yet another 3 pound Zalman monstrosity, I thought to myself...what's wrong with a stock cooler anyways, and then I never looked back - and never had issues either (which stands to reason - why would Intel or AMD ship inadequate cooling).
Now for overclockers, cooling is a different story - but I grew out of that dick waving contest a long time ago
