The stock cooler look like this:

With stock Intel cooler I did in first try just to see temps in windows running 4.2 GHz, it didnt really look bad so quickly I adjusted further on to 4.8GHz, Temperature started raising, looking like something that could get pretty high, so I started 3dmark06. Ofcourse I overclocked the GPU a little too, to be sure that the system was really busy. I monitored the CPU temp which was a little yellow from time to time, reaching around 100c, but it completed without any problems.
