i have my intel stock cooler on with my i5 3570k at 4.0ghz and the temps hit 70c max will the tx3 bring them down i also bought arctic silver 5 thermal paste

Yes, if mounted properly, the TX3 should out-perform the OEM heatsink. For future reference, OCing with an OEM heatsink is not recommended by many. They really aren't designed to handle the additional heat generated by the CPU.

by how much ?? better do you think it will be

CTurbo · Mar 29, 2014

Yes it's WAY better.

skippy19982 · Mar 29, 2014

do you think i can hit 4.4ghz

skippy19982 · Mar 29, 2014

my i5 3570k is at 4.0ghz with a voltage of 1.200

How much depends on many factors, including having stable power, good airflow, and a properly mounted heatsink, for example.

Just increase your settings in baby steps and test along the way. Once you start seeing instability, drop off a bit and declare success.

Good luck!
