so im not ENTIRELY familiar with overclocking but i was sure confident to do it.
so i overclocked my i7 980x @ 3.33 Ghz to 4.635 Ghz
and its working perffectly so far.

i tried prime95 but after the first stage @ 65-70 c avg across all cores it skyrocketed to 95-100 C
not familiar with prime95 so bear with me.

but i want to know if it can be cooled that much?? would i have to go through liquid cooling?
i would love recommendations so that i cant test it properly. because i plan on going further beyond.
im using a asus rampage gene III mobo and a zalman cpns10 extreme to cool it.

Personally I wouldn't use any AIOs except http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186153 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835108221&cm_re=Swiftech_H240-_-35-108-221-_-Product
