Kat your link is missing!
Tbirds produce a lot of heat. If you want to oc get a good hsf, like Alpha, or Globalwin..etc. Unless you got some full tower case with massive cooling you need case fans.
If you chip is hot you need to check your heatsink, remove it and clean the bottom of it carefully , also clean the cpu core. GET A GOOD thermal paste, and put small amount on the cpu core. Be careful and make sure the hs is sitting flat on the core. Never enver never ever never start your computer without heatsink on the cpu core, and make sure to connect the fan too.
Tbirds fry themselves in few seconds without cooling.
