Hi everyone,
So i want to buy an i7-2600k paired with a Z68M motherboard.
How much can i overclock my cpu with a stock cooler.
Im new to all this

4.5 is reasonably easy and there's numerous guides to help you but wouldn't attempt this with stock cooler. You'll be after a tower cooler such as Hyper 212, Cryorig H7, Be Quiet Shadow Rock 2, Noctua D14/15/15s to keep temps down.
