No overclocking - Yes

Overclocking - No (only difference is the multiplier they both hit about the same speeds.

Once again
No overclocking - Yes, the stock is fine

Overclocking - No, get an aftermarket

The stock cooler is fine for mild overclocking, until you start upping the VCore.

True but if you are going to overclock, why stop at a mild overclock.
