I used to work for a pc building/sales company as QA manager. We used to have 2/3 pc's a week that had this problem. I worked there for 4 years so that would be about right

Still its up to iain_herts what he wants to do...
Personaly I dont see any harm in overrating the cooler. After all the cooler you can run the chip the better it will perform...
Oh and iain_herts make sure that if you just hold the case and dont use a strap that you leave the power cable plugged into the psu with the mains off at the plug. That way you will have a good earth and reduce the risk of ESD damage.
