Cpu Fan?

Hey, When i get my new q6600 i am not really thinking of overclocking it (well at the moment enyway might change my mind) is the stock fan enough cooling? is it noisey?

Or do you think i should replace the fan?
Personally im more concerned with performance then price so willing to buy another fan.

I'm using the $30 Thermaltake Big Typhoon VX HSF and it's running my QX6700 at 1333FSB x 10 multi for a final clock frequency of 3.33GHz and it idles at 37C which isn't too bad for an overclocked quad core on air cooling.

im suing the same cpu cooler (thermaltake tig typhoon 120vx) on my E6700 overclocked @ 3.5Ghz and it runs fine bout the same temp as the stock fan at stock speed
