Hey. I would just like to ask if I'm able to overclock my CPU with my current cooler.
My spec is.


CPU: i5 2500k
Cooler: Noctua NH-D14
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z68-V PRO, Socket-1155
PSU: Corsair 750W
GFX: MSI GeForce 580
Ram: Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600MHz 8GB CL9


Just wanted to know if it's cool for overclocking, and will I be able to run Skyrim on max settings with or out overclocking my CPU?
Thanks.
