    What should i do?

    After a fairly unaminous reccomendation amongst those who helped me with my Headphone problems, i ordered this heatsink kit: http://www.cpucitystore.co.uk/catalo...roducts_id=420 earlier on today.

    Next thing i know, i find out that my problems were in fact caused by having the amplifyer too close to the back of the casing (which I THINK causes it to pick up em radiation like a guitar amp does) and that overheating wasnt actually an issue..

    The question is, is it worth returning, or keeping so that i can take advantage of overclocking later on and get some experience from installing it?

    Just keep it, when the cooler on your gfx breaks you know you have a spare that you can fit straight away without stressing.

    They make superb chipset coolers, northbridge or gfx. U never know when it may come in handy, as Shogun sed. Worth keeping imo.

    Worth keeping. Always good to have spare hardware/cooling hardware at home, you'll never know when you need it
    Light travels faster than sound. Is this why some people appear bright until you hear them speak?

    Keep it! I mean problems are always showing up when you least expect it, huh? I mean how many times haven't you been in a situation when a problem's appearing and you don't have the thing(s) to fix it with? And when you have em' (no matter what problem you have) the problem seems to never appear

    So who knows? That may provide future problems

    I'd have to say that you should keep it, if only to try overclocking! Plus, its handy to have, and it's a huge amount of money anyway. Keep it (and start fiddling around in the BIOS with FSBs and multipliers!)
