Hello, I'm about to overclock my CPU to about 4.3gHz, but I obviously can't do that with a stock cooler. However, I do have a Hyper 103 unboxed at home, so would it be any good for my intentions? Also, what are optimal (/max) temps for my CPU?

Thanks in advance :)

Optimal varies on cooler and what you're doing, I'd say stay under 85-90 at full load for an extended time. "Max" would be where the chip shuts itself down, which for this chip I believe is 105. Obviously stay away from that :)
