Q: Since it says stuff about the heat sink next to the cpu, do we need a heat sink on the cpu? (I'm not very educated on computers.)

Yes, you will need a heatsink on any CPU that you ever install. A lot of them already come with a stock heatsink and some don't. The ones that don't tend to be higher-end, this is because on high-end CPUs an aftermarket, more potent heatsink is needed. A lot of people also water cool high-efficiency CPUs. (Tend to be quieter as well) My recommendation would be to see what kind of build you want to do and go from there. But 100% sure you will need a heatsink on top of your CPU to cool it down, so start by looking at what CPU is compatible with this motherboard and if it comes with a heatsink; If it doesn't, search for a heatsink that is compatible with this motherboard and your build. Some will not fit on your motherboard! Hope this answer helped you, if you have any other questions don't hesitate in reaching out! You can also Google search "computer system compatibility" and the first links should help you figure out your system compatibility. Best, CortesGaming LLC
