From all i can figure out, the ONLY difference between a retail cpu and a oem cut (no box) cpu is:
1. less dealer warrentee period (naimly due to our missuse of HSF)
2. no pretty box
3. Doesn't come with HSF.
Am i mistaken here?!?!?! Is there any performance/quality/longevity difference between the two?
Just courious, because if i'm going to be buying my own HSF, i want to know if its worth spending 10 bucks extra on a retail CPU if all i'm getting is a throw away fan.

*grabs a stick and places it into the flames* mmmm, smores
