One of the review I saw said that Xig 963 lose out to AMD stock cooler?
Is it true?

I might be building a new AMD based pc and I will be over clocking this new pc so pls give some comment~!

Planning to get a cooler to OC the cpu budget not over rm 200.

On the whole the Xigmatek HDT-S693 heatsink runs a little warmer than the the stock AMD Athlon64 AVC Z7U7414001 (AM2) heatsink, but much quieter. On the Intel platform the HDT-S963 is dramatically better than the stock Intel Core 2 Duo bifurcated-fin heatsink."

This can be found in ckhoong post it self. Pls comment.
Any AMD plus Xig 963 user can comment on this??

Is it necessary to clean the previous TIM using alcohol, or should I just clean it just by using a simple cloth or tissue paper?

I'm planning to install a new cooler replacing the stock Intel cooler.
