And might as well spring for the aftermarket cooling, a decent cooler nowadays can be had for $30. Better cooling and quieter than stock depending on what you choose.
this is what I was afraid of.

x2 costs $95

x4 costs $160

if I buy a $30 cooler then that would make my x2 costs $125. Not that much more cheaper than an x4... not worth it.

in x4 mode it goes to 68-69 degree Celcius at full load. I'm scared that somehow it might go to 71-75 degree and burn.

Is there a ghetto method that i can use to cool down my processor 5-10 degree Celcius?

I don't care about the appearance of my computer. Maybe take the mobo out and leave it on the table?
