dont bother with stick intel heatsink ................ get a cheap cooler like the artic freezer 7 pro ...................... then you can hit 3.6ghz on stock voltages

abort prime 95 if temps get to 63C ................... they should be around 35C idle and 45-50C for stress at 3.6 ghz with a better cooler

you take the piece of junk stock heatsink and throw it away it don't do good cooling at all
