    See the one that says "tray" Thats the one with just a cpu, no heatsink or anything. Its known as a OEM chip. Nothing wrong with it, as its exactally the same as the other one. Just munus a cpu cooler.

    They will both clock the same, being the same chip. 3ghz+ on good air cooling.

    AFAIK OEM CPUs also only have a 1 year warranty as opposed to the 3-5 year for retail.

    This might not bother you if your going to OC it

    Thanks for the replies :) So would something like this be a good replacement for the OEM's lack of a cooler?
