I am SO glad I asked - and you answered! I can just see me thinking
"well they didn't include it must not need it". What a mistake that
would have been. Thanks.

Now I'm wondering - I see the suppliers also sell chipset coolers. Will
I need that also? Or that extra cooling for overclocking (which I don't
plan to do)?


All motherboards come with an appropriate cooling solution for the chipset,
pre-installed. In some cases, computer modders like to replace it though.
You can't blame the computer vendors for selling what many of their
customers want. But there is NO NEED to purchase any kind of cooling for
the chipset. -Dave
