Definitively, yes.
First, stock HS comes with a crappy thermad pad that does *not* even touch the chip surface. Better take it off and lap that surface, and put thermal grease.
Next ppl who have done that reported burning hot HS at speeds near 200MHz. Active cooling is mandated for extreme FSBs.
Personally i never ran the mobo with its stock heatsink as i already had the watercooling hardware at hand. But now, with some fiddling and a new BIOS, i'm running over 200 FSB without any problem.
