Question Good cpu cooler for i7-3770k

[MirageTPX]

I'm getting a new processor soon and want to over clock it. My goal is to get to 4.6ghz but I'm not entirely sure what cooler to get, will the Deepcool Gammaxx GT A-RGB CPU Cooler be good enough for it? My power supply is the corsair cx650m, which should be fine. My motherboard is the Asrock B75M-DGS.

A solid option would be the classic, hyper 212 evo. Should get you atleast 4.5ghz with comfortable temps without making your pockets hurt.

That CPU cooler is pretty good. I am not sure a 3770k will easily clock that high, though. Ivy didn't overclock as well as Sandy did.

B75 board so no overclocking. Their were a few boards where you could get some but I think Intel put a halt to that because you could OC a non K processor. Been a good bit of years.

If my motherboard doesn't do any overclocking can I still use the Intel XTU software to overclock?

Short answer, no you cannot.

Well, that's a rip. I guess I'm just gonna have to live with the turbo boost.
