Hey. Is it possible, or simply smart, to OC my i5 3570k and GTX 970 using a Cooler Master Hyper T2 cooler? I wasn't thinking of doing OC when I bought this for a replacement to my intel stock cooler but now I want to push my build to it's limit since I just bought the GTX 970 and want to get the best out of my games like ESO, WildStar, and Titanfall.

Looking around and see a lot of people saying how cheap the T2 is and not ok to OC with. More so people are praising the Hyper 212 EVO cooler. Only about $12 more than the Hyper T2 from what I've been seeing so doable but like to know if I really can't do max with the T2. Info is appreciated. I'm completely new to OC so any tips are welcomed as well. I also have an OCZ ZT 550w PSU if that helps any.Thanks.
