Hi guys.
so i have a question but first my specs:
GTX 970 Phantom 4GB
Asrock Z68 Extreme3 gen3 mobo
I7 2600k at 4.2GHz with STOCK COOLER
16 GB ram (8GB HyperX fury + 8GB Corsair XM3 at 1600mhz all)
2 case fans.
So, when i got this i7, i've OC-d it to 4.2GHz, with Fixed offset voltage of +0.030 (i think, i did with a tutorial) and it's fine, it's stable on the stock cooler.
I have been playing games for like a month almost, with 4.2 GHz with stock cooler, haven't noticed any problems at all, put my hand at the cooler, wasnt that hot at all in any of the games, but to be honest i never check'd the actual temperatures, but i was fine what so ever.
My question is, will i be fine with the stock cooler with 4.2GHz? shall i get an aftermarket cooler? if yes, then please offer me a budget one, wich could handle the 4.2GHz.
I repeat: i was using 4.2GHz on the stock cooler for about a month now, no problems so far, i didnt felt like the cpu started thermal throttle(ing, or whatever is correct) at all.
Sorry for my bad english.
Thanks.

HWMonitor actually has OSD options in the settings. *Bottom right it's a cog wheel for 'configure sensors', then there's an 'OSD (RTSS)' tab.
