Overclocking i5 2500k with xigmatek loki 2

[GangsterPhantominity]

Can i overclock an i5 2500k to 4.6 or 4.8ghz with a xigmatek loki 2 cooler or should i buy a better one?

I'd go with heat sync that has a 120mm fan like the cooler master hyper 212 evo. I have the 212 evo paired with a 2500k and I get 81c full load clocked at 5ghz.

Ok thanks, i will buy the 212 evo before overclocking. But will a 500w psu be enough for 760 and ocd 2500k 4.8ghz?

The wattage should be enough, but your oc potential is also determined by the overall quality of the psu. Also make sure the 212 evo will fit in your case.
