    Posted: 06 Mar 2011 at 10:28pm
Need some advice on cooling. The CPU for my system that should be arriving very soon is shipping with the processor OC'd from 3.3GHz to 3.7GHz. I didn't select any extra cooling upgrade so it's coming with the factory standard heatsink.

Will this be enough to properly cool the OC'd CPU?

Yeah that's the exact one, an i5 2500k. So it should be alright, shouldn't need to upgrade the HS with that OC?

no need to worry, people have pushed that exact processor to well over 4ghz on the stock cooler and its still was cool.
