Stock cooler on e8400?
So I just picked up a bunch of new parts for my computer, the new e8400 included. Previous to buying these new parts I had a Blue Orb II cooler on my amd 3500+. The cooler is too big to fit on my new motherboard, because it hits both the ram and the chipset heatsink. I decided to just put on the stock cooler for now, but do you guys think I should keep it on there? Is it really a lot worse than a decent cooler I could buy.
Also, random question: When I got my new gigabyte motherboard, one of the plastic screws from the chipset heatsink was missing, so I had to use an old one from my old motherboard. Weird?
