RE Cooling, I know there are 3p ones, it just pisses me off that AMD still ships cpus with coolers that will see you in overheat shut down if you go over 85-90% cpu load for more than short spikes. Thermaltake makes one rated for up to 95w cpus that sells for $10, why can't AMD ship the 1-6 core chips with that?
