I'm looking at a 65W Core i5 Sandybridge processor:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115075

Is the stock heatsink/fan included with the unit adequate? If it is adequate, will it be excessively noisy?

I'm not planning on doing any overclocking.

Intel is betting a 3 year warranty the bundled fan is adequate. – Moab Jun 12 '11 at 20:02

The stock cooler is actually rather quiet and not noticeable when inside case.
I just build a media PC with that exact i5 for my family room.
