CPU air cooler, micro ATX, no OC, i5-4670k

Which model HP pavilion do you have? Because like hyper 212EVO is very good but it is 160mm high, if you don't get the right model then I can't find the details for the case, and I can't recommend one for you.

And also do you have idea which store or website to buy the cooler? Like amazon?

The HP Pavilion is model is p6300z. I will probably buy from Amazon if they carry the recommended cooler.

Only that I haven't done it before but it is tempting to try! Will I need more cooling capcity if I do OC?
 
Yes, you will need an aftermarket CPU cooler for overclocking. The stock cooler works just fine with the CPU at stock speed. I can't seem to find any images of the inside of that case. Could you either upload a picture or measure from the motherboard to the side panel so we know how much room there is for a cooler? Does it have a fan at the back of the case? If so, do you know what size it is? Another option may be to replace the rear fan with a 120mm liquid cooler if the fan is 120mm.

There is a rear fan, 90mm, but room for a 120mm.

Good advice, thank you... better safe than sorry... a few $s extra will be worth the peace of mind! Terry
