My build is fx 6300 3.5ghz, 1060 3gb, 8gb frequency idk, msi 970 gaming motherboard
im thinking about overclocking because of the bottleneck . im also planning to get the cm hyper 212 cooler since its the only one that fits my budget. how to overclock and should i ? pls help
 
Solution
Id argue if ambient temps & case cooling are decent a 212 evo will do 4.3-4.5ghz on a 6300 no issue at all.

I have an 8320 running on one at 4.4ghz , doesn't get anywhere near 70c.

4.2/4.3 is a nice overclock to minimise bottlenecks with a 1060 3gb.

I only want to reduce the bottleneck so severe over clocking is not needed right?
