So I was planning on overclocking my cpu to 3.3Ghz, but I'm afraid that it may boost the temperature and damage the Motherboard. Anyway, I know how to to overclock and it's in the bios. Here are the Specs:

Intel i3 530@2.93Ghz
PowerColor HD 6770 @ 700 Mhz OC'd to 720 Mhz
ASRock H55M-LE
ACBel CE2 500-550W
4GB RAM
1TB Seagate

Please respond immediately! I need to know if it may damage any of the computer parts.

My Computer Case is Aerocool PGS-V V3 (Advanced). I see 4 fans, the one in the processor, video card, the one in the side and the one just above the video card with the brand Aerocool.

I'm currently using the stock cooler of the i3 - 530. So here's how it looks:

The average temperature, according to Speccy™(Piriform) is 47-49°C at 2-7 CPU Usage which spikes at 45 everytime I open task manager. at. So I think I should worry about this.

I think so, because I'm currently playing Far Cry 3 at 1920x1080 Medium with 66 Processes of 74%Physical Memory at 68% CPU Usage and it hits 88-95 °C. So will anyone recommend me a good aftermarket CPU cooler for overclcking?
