Cooling Systems, are they so important?

Hey guys

I'm about to build my own HD video editing computer, i7 3930, 32 gb ram, p9x79 deluxe, amd hd 7090... and I had everything figured out until i stumbled on this question. How much does the computer's cooling system actually matter. I know that if your computer doesn't have one, your cpu would overheat and start melting your motherboard. Would you need one just to keep it below melting point when its running a torturer test? I do however have a feeling that the temp of the cpu and the gpu has something to do with their performance. I'm thinking about a corsair h80. Any thoughts?
 
Cooling is very important. The cooler you run your system, the better it will perform and the longer it will last. The H80 is not worth the price really. Either go for a custom loop, or a good air cooler and you will be fine. Also, if you are going to keep it stock, the stock cooler will be more than enough to run it.
 
Summing it up, heat is a transistors worst enemy, and that is what makes up all the processors in your computer. So cooling them adequately is important. Key word there, the stock heatsink provided by the cpu manufacturer is adequate, however if you want quieter, more effective cooling you can go with the aftermarket.
