stock cooler, Opti's

[runLoganrun]

I'm looking at this processor, but they don't have any more oem's at NewEgg. I've heard the stock cooler is pretty decent. Is that true? Is it good for overclocking? Otherwise I was thinking of getting one of those Zalman Fatal1ty's.
thanks

Your link goes to a ZZF add that has the qx6700 and x6800. If you have the 4 heatpipe cooler for the opty then yes its a very good cooler and will handle all but the very highest O/C and voltage. It will handle the highest voltage and O/C if you short out the thermal sensor on the fan to let it run at 100% but it gets very loud.

I was looking at the Opti 170/175, is that what you're talking about? I also have a Zalman 120mm cpu fan w/ copper heatsink that is on my current system. I modified that one a bit though, it has a small slot machined into the bottom to put a temp probe. I've been using the on chip temp probe so just fill the slot with AS5. There's barely any material gone, it's like 3/1000 of an inch deep, I think, so the AS5 should be fine but I still wonder if it wouldn't be better if it was perfectly flat. Prob go with stock cooler on Opti, and put Zalman on something else.
thanks
