Can I get into any OC with the 212 Evo? I tried my mobo's "dynamic OC" where it did an auto OC up to 4.3 ghz, and the temps were ok for everyday stuff, but when I started encoding video, the CPU temps hit 69-70C, which I know is too much for my CPU, so I turned the dynamic/auto OC off. I guess what I'm saying is can I hit 4.3 ghz (or higher) with a 212?

Nm, you answered that. Thanks!
