Hey guys,
I was in bed asleep, so forgive me if this is slurred a bit.
I need to change out my CPU cooler to get a accusal "ok" OC.
mobo + CPU in stats to the left.
im hitting about 67C on hardware monitor with my multiplier set on 17x (matched 965)
Crazyeyesreaper and I walked through the BIOS checked everything out and determined it was in fact the cooler (although, everyone knows its a shyt cooler for quad cores).
I'm looking at the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 plus cooler and changing out the oem fan that puts out 76.8cfm with some Scythe SY1225SL12SH 120mm "Slipstream" fans putting out 110.31 cfm. in a push - pull config. noise isn't a factor so I never even cared to look at it (running ultra kraze as exhaust so its loud anyways).
You guys think this will get a decent overclock? I'd like a 3.8 but idk if that is a reachable goal.
I looked up the oem fan that comes with the 212 and it appears to be mislabeled junk.

I want to thank Crazyeyesreaper and JrRacingFan for taking the time to help me out with this, I'm a complete n00b at overclocking. Thanks Guys.
