Hi I'm looking to overclock my i5-3570k, I have a CM 212 EVO, a silencio 650 case and 5 fans in the case. Running Prime95 for around 10 minutes my max temperature was 73c but this is at stock 3.4ghz. Is my set up simply too hot to try and push for 4.0ghz/4.2ghz? Any ideas on how to lower the tempeatures?

look for the best fan placement to reduce the heat in the case, if that doesn't work you might consider to get a better cooler or place a fan at the cooler itself push/pull that will result you 2 fans intake from front and 2 fans exhaust at the top one and back one
