Nah, no chance of that, unfortuantely. First tiem removing the cooler from the box, and the imprint was as good as it gets. I'm just blown away that the cpu has not throttled at all. I guess I must be pretty close to that point tho, on stock cooling.

Maybe that's why the "T" in my FPO...who knows.
