I dont think this HSF will give me any head room to overclock once my 550 is unlocked.
On a mugen 2 (applied with ocz freeze) with stock fan, I run my x2 550 at 4ghz with 1.505v and the under load it goes up to about 48 degrees. When I unlock it and run about 1.4v it is close to the same temperature.

On an unrelated note, does anyone notice these cpus have a weak IMC, or did I just get an unlucky one? It won't run 1600mhz no matter what I try, even as dual or quad.
