Yes it is compatible and yes you need to buy an aftermarket cooler.

When I bought mine, I heard that you could overclock quite well with the stock cooler.

The safest option is to buy an after market cooler; however it's really up to you. Whether you'd need one depeneds on your weather, case ventilation etc. You could increase the clock speed a small amount and monitor the heat - who knows it might not go up much at all depending on how far you push it.

Buy an aftermarket cooler, stock cooler s*cks for "a good oc" (more mhz, low temps, etc).

Well It says that I have to overclock my motherboard right here http://www.gigabyte.lv/products/mb/cpulist/ga-945gcm-s2c.html where it says F5 by overclocking,meaning that I have to OC my motherboard.Can I overclock a motherboard and a processor at the same time? Will it be stable??I don't worry about temps,but I want it to run stable at at least 3.6 GHZ!!

1 / Temps ARE the most important thing you need to look at !

2/ This Motherboard is NOT the best option for Ocing but 600 mhz shouldnt be a problem , its a pretty easy Oc.

F5 is certainly the BIOS model number lol !
