Yes :) I'm running it stock at the moment with 2.2ghz.. Gonna mess around with it slowly when I have time. Everythings running great.

Does that mean, I need a new HSF? like a Zalman? or am I ok with the one they sent me?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/CustRatingReview.asp?Item=N82E16835106034 That's the HSF that they're giving me.. 50 Dollars my ass, haha. Should I scrap that and grab something beefier, when I OC?
