LOL, yeah not just cheap HSF's, but most all of them collect a great deal of dust over tiime, I suggest cleaning out you case of dust ever 3 mos, thats what I do.

Use cohesive air cooling and put a filter on the inlet.
That way there is always a positive pressure inside the case and all air going in is filtered.

That sure is a fine chip you have there, they are almost rare today. Have you tried for more mhz?
