So I am relatively new to PC building and overclocking. I got myself a pretty beastly rig of a 980ti, Sabertooth 990fx mobo and an 8350 4.0 that I currently have overclocked to 4.4 ghz. Only problem is my heat levels are preventing me from pushing anything much further than that. The idea was to get the 8350 to 4.7. I am using a Corsair H60 to cool the CPU (not installed myself) and everything else is stock. I have two fans on the top of the case (Antec Gx500) but I'm running low 60's for the CPU and 58's for the motherboard core when I stress it in prime95.
So the question is should I upgrade my H60 to something better (I'm willing to spend up to 200 if it's worth it) or can I use it in conjunction with an air fan? Or other cooling method? I'm not familiar with installing them so if replacing it is recommended, is there anything that installs using the same brackets or should I use something else entirely? I don't care about sound, So most effective cooling is what I am looking for.
Tl;DR; H60 not good. What do.
