My little brother has the 3870K, and even at 3.7 GHZ (Max clock I could get it to) It didn't run Twilight princess as well as a i3 could have. I had an Aftermarket cooler on there with heatpipes too! It over heated and I had to remove the OC. The Llano series are not particularly good overclockers.

For reference: I had the Asus Triton 70 laying around, and that was the 3rd party heatsink.
