how long do you figure you can run the cpu without a heatsink before it dies?
I've seen chips last less than 30 seconds before...
where are you shipping from?
Shipping from NH If I remember right you are in CA. Might not be worth it. But up to you. I am going to use a heat sink just not the one it comes with since the one currently install on the mother board already has thermal paste on it. Did not want to ruin the thermal paste on the new heatsink for bios configuring.
