You'll be fine with the stock cooler. Just install the Themis when you have time, it will be better if you want to OC the Cpu.

I think i am going to give this ago at the weekend, will i have to remove the motherboard completely? don't suppose you know of a good video to help as everyone i search for on YouTube is in German and i was no good at that subject in school :/
Just follow the installation guide, they are usually pretty straight forward these days.
The 200R has a Cpu cut out, so you should`nt have to remove the mobo.
You will need to make sure you have some thermal paste remover, as you will have to clean the old paste off.
Something like this:

Here is a guide on removing the heatsink for Socket 1155. It will be the same for 1150 as well.

Just use some soft tissue. Or go down the Chemist and buy some Isopropyl Alcohol 50ml.
Just making Him aware that He needs to clean the old stuff off
but yes Iso Alcohol works good too.

Does anyone know why I can't get my second monitor working, my main one is hdmi but my second is a VGA with the dvi-d adapter but it won't connect?

Also, which way should the fan be facing? towards the back or the front?
I find nail varnish remover works very well
I have my fan pushing air through the heatsink towards the rear exhaust fan, it's down to how the system is laid out though. It won't make much of a difference but for a good airflow you should have it pull from the direction of an intake fan to the direction of an exhaust fan
