@sinbad should be fine. I have a similar cooler and it makes no real difference. The heat sink does 95% of the work. The fan is useful to get rid of heat build-ups when the CPU does some heavy lifting. For idle, fans can even be off with most modern CPUs if there's a decent heat sink on it.
And if the worst happens? Your motherboard will beep and then shut down to protect your CPU... but for that to happen you probably have to remove the entire heat sink 😂
