Do I need additional fans?

Hi,

I bought this motherboard -

https://www.amazon.com/Strix-Gaming...pID=51vTaMQq4rL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

And this processor -

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07598VZR8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And they will be used in this case -

The case comes with 3 pre-installed fans. My question is whether I need to attach a fan to my motherboard to cool the motherboard/CPU? Or will the pre-installed fans be sufficient?

If I do need to order a fan - can someone suggest one that is compatible with the parts I have listed?

Thanks in advance.
 
I didn't.

Apologies, maybe I didn't communicate it well. I'm basically asking if the pre-installed case fans are enough or if the heatsink is always a compulsory part.

Spent a few years fixing iPhones and made a few easy laptop modifications before but this is my first time building a desktop from scratch.

If heatsink is needed does anyone have any suggestions? I'd like to order from Amazon preferably. (And do I need thermal paste?)

Thanks
 
It is required, and you do need thermal paste.
Something like this is fairly inexpensive and does well provided you aren't overclocking a lot. https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-RR-212E-20PK-R2-Direct-Contact/dp/B005O65JXI

Thanks for reply. I did some digging before your reply and went ahead and bought this - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L7UZMAK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I figured if I'd already spent nearly $2500 on parts I may as well spend extra on the heatsink. I checked compatibility on the manufacturers website and it said it was fine to use with my motherboard.

Although one worry I have is whether my RAM will get in the way. I've seen some pics of these fans installed and they look huge.

This is my RAM I'll be using - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071JQJG13/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Does anyone foresee any problems?
