Thanks, so the board is stable and there's no real need of highend cooling. Now I only need the ok from the shop.

But after asking that I realize that you could have rightly pointed me to the forum search, this exact topic of necessary cooling of AMD boards is already covered, for example here. It always annoys me when people are asking questions that have been answered couple of times before and now I'm doing it myself. Sheesh.
