I should just buy OEM, right?

I'm about to buy the Q6600 and plan to OC, so I should just buy it OEM and buy a 3rd party heatsink, right? Speaking of heatsink, what heatsink do you guys suggest for OC'ing on the Q6600? Thanks!

I would....You are going to void the warranty with the OC anyways.....save the 20+ in the cost of retail box to put towards a higher end heatsink...like the Ultra 120

Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme is the king of air coolers, the Tuniq Tower is a close second. Scythe Ninjas and OCZ Vindicators run well fanless/passive, the Scythe Infinity can have quad-120mm fans [!!!], the Noctua NH-U12F and U12P come with their uber low noise fans, and that's just some of the better tower heatsinks. Make sure to get some nice fans with it too. I'd recommend either the Scythe Slipstream or S-Flex from 1200RM up, or Noctua NF-P12, as they have excellent airflow/noise/pressure.
