I saw some really cheap ones (under 10 bucks) earlier in the night. I've also read a lot about how this boards bridge runs hot. It has a gimpier heatsink than its predecessors and isn't connected to any other heatsinks by piping or anything. Now add that I am going to be overclocking (taking my 2500k to about 4.5ghz, but likely no further than that) and I have become concerned! What are you guys thoughts on how important or worth it would be for me to install one of these? I really, really don't want for anything to ever overheat and die in this system. I think that's what went wrong with my last one, which is why I'm buying / upgrading to this one.
