Hi, I bought a i4760k running on a Z97-G55 mobo with a Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO, 1 year ago. Now I want to OC the CPU I tried the OC engine from the mobo for some simple and noob testing and got these temps:
-Idle: 50º
-Gamming: 70º up to 80.
Without the OC my temps are:
-Iddle: 40º
-Gamming: 60º
I only tried it with WoW, no really a demanding game so I'm expecting even higher temps with newer games. The CPU voltage was at 1.25 and got 4Ghz, it really looks too hot so I'm looking to buy a water cooling system (All in one).
Is it going to make a great difference? What cooling system to buy? I'm willing to spend something like 60-90€, 70-100$ if it makes a good difference. Also, I live in Spain and this is usually Ragnaros home (35º+ at summer).
Should I made a custom overclock or just stay with the OC engine from the mobo?

Before getting into custom overclocking, I would focus on your temps first with the OC engine from the mobo. Your voltage and Ghz are in good spec, so lowering the temps should give you a bit more headroom for future OCing.
