Quote: Wasn't the whole point of the new motherboard to allow you to OC (which you can't do without a good cooler)?Yes, overclocking and sound, but the E8400@3.6Ghz is at 50c with the stock cooler while running prime95, so I was hoping the X3440 would be able to go a little higher with its stock cooler too. I will take your advice and get a cooler though. I've seen a few people on the forum mention the Hyper 212, so that's my plan at the moment.
