stock HSF for a cpu running at stock speeds is fine...i wouldnt worry if i were you...

It's totally fine. Most think not but it's probably because they might have a Thunderbird, or an overclocked AXP.
However if you notice your case is very tight inside, and I mean VERY, 2 case fans will do nothing but help your system. (one intake, one exhaust) They only cost around 20$ together.

Do you think amd would sell their chips with a hsf which didnt work?
Go with stock, you will be fine.

Still, a 300MHZ OC with such CPU on retail cooling is BIG and in fact very rare.

Ya of course, but I thought it might influence on the Retail's quality of cooling, but yeah if a Retail passes this chip, you definitly have a survivor there! I wonder if the P4's retail would do live through that.
