It will allow the CPU to run cooler, which can certainly extend its life. However, another benefit to having an aftermarket cooler can simply be....it's quieter versus using the stock cooler.

If your temps are constantly over 80ºc, then yeah, the cooler will extend the life of your CPU. But if not, it won't really change much, aside for reducing noise.

There is no need to buy one unless you want a cooler that looks sexier or is quieter. While it will keep the CPU cool, it's not worth it unless you are planning to buy an overclockable CPU for that motherboard.
