Do you still need a good heatsink if you're not overclocking?
Regardless of whether I got B3 or G0 stepping, if I bought an Antec Solo with fans in all the ports, should I still get an aftermarket heatsink?
I was thinking to be on the safe side and this is my suggested setup:
Antec Solo, case fans, Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme, Q6600 (G0 stepping).
I really don't want to pay the high price for B3 stepping as I feel it's an inferior chip when the G0 is only slightly more expensive. I figure the G0 stepping will become more available anyway as the lack of demand for B3 (should drive the price down) and influence Intel and retailers to only stock G0. Just watch.
