Even with the slot cooler, the stock heatsink is barely adequate for
normal operation.  Mine ran at 63c with the stock cooler and a 2CoolPC
ducted cooler blowing right on it.  I removed the original HSF and
installed a Tennmax cooler.. dropped temps to 48c at the desktop, max
53c playing Quake3 at 800x600.

I wouldn't dream of overclocking ANYTHING with factory cooling
methods.
