Take it from a guy who has replaced a lot of heatsinks ;-) (3 or more samples of each of the above)

I agree with you about AMD - but Core 2 duo and quad are incredibly robust. I have been running 50% overclocks from the day Core Duo came out, and none have lost a MHz of overclock over time. I won't talk you into breaking your hardware, but running cooler will certainly minimise that, so I would ditch the Typhoon.

3.45 is achievable on very safe voltages on Q6600s.
