So Unsure

I'm thinking about purchasing this LINK as its the only i7 on overclockers that will fit my current board, but im scared it will have 8packs pubes on and might break. (It clearly states at the bottom of the page that it may have thermal grease residue with pubes in it)
Its quite a substantial purchase to make, im used to buying retail or OEM CPU's can someone explain "binned" CPU's im a noob. :3
Thankyou

I have overclocked before but never with a delidded CPU... my board comes with a phone app so I can overclock from outside so I can claim it wasn't me on the insurance when it ignites and burns my house down.
I was thinking of tickling it up to just over 4.GHz, I tend to have my current i5 3570k at 95-99% usage the majority of the time and iv oc'd that to 4.4GHz so I definitely need to invest in something with more oomph.
But yes im definitely a overclocking noob so maybe I should read some more before jumping in.
