Check to see if the cd-rw reads dvd's as I have only seen hl2 in dvd form.

I was under the impression that you need a dvd player or dvd write drive to read dvd games, and if HL2 was in dvd format it wouldn't be 5 cds would it?
 
Because overclocking produces more heat and as we all know cooler is better. Stock heatsink wont cut it when pushing for higher OC's

huh & why

Well. The stock heatsink that comes in the retail box is usually designed to be sufficient to dissipate the heat generated when the CPU is running "normally". When u overclock and such, the stock heatsink usually can't dissipate the heat energy as fast as it's generated on the CPU. Therefore, the temperature also rises as a consequence. So u need a better heatsink/fan that is more effective at dropping the temperature.
