Do I need to buy one separately? Would you recommend a particular one?
Edit:
Disregard that it does :/
Yes the CPU comes with it's own stock cooler.... yes you can use the stock one.
fwiw, I tried getting away with the stock cooler and gave up after a week. It did fine keeping everything cool but it was loud. I didn't want to spend 50 on the big shuriken cooler but after installing it I can definitely say it was worth it.
