ya an aftermarket cooler and the know how to adjust voltages, eg y Q6600 runs at 3.6@1.43vlts on thermalright 120 ultra extreme

load temp of mid 4's -50's is great if u have no aftermarket cooler when u try to overclock ur temps will go through the roof eg my Q6600 gets to approx 58c under prime 95 with the best aftermarket cooler
