No it's a good choice, no problems expected

I've just ordered the same CPU, but I chose the Asus P5N32-E SLI instead.

Should have arrived at home, so I'm hoping everything works fine. I'll see how it clocks

Good CPU for sure, but I'm just wondering wouldn't you rather get the cheaper E2160 and overclock that past 3Ghz? Save some cash and maybe get a new CPU in January when Penryn comes out?
