overclocking i7 4770k

[smexyghost]

maybe i'm gonna build a pc in the next month with a i7 4770k, and i think i want to overclock it just a bit to like 4.0 or 4.2, would i need a h60 or could i just go for a Hyper 212 EVO

i have my 3570k clocked to 4.2ghz and it's been cool with a 212 but really depends on your room temp

that's not hot at all a 212 should be more than sufficient to keep the 4770k cool even when it's clocked at 4.2 ghz (unless you're stress testing)

He means when you are running prime95 or something to put your CPU under full load for some hours to check if your overclock is stable.

You should really do this after you overclock, otherwise you may experience issues down the road in games because of overclock instabilities.
