Hello,
I recently purchased an i5-2500K processor with an ASUS P8Z68-V Pro motherboard. I would like to experiment with some mild-moderate overclocking, but nothing extreme as I am not a gamer, this is to be used for CAD design work. The case I will probably buy is the Antec P183.
I have already read some comments on OC'ing the 2500K with the stock Intel cooler; they are slightly mixed, with some agreeing that mild overclocking may be feasible; others swear that the factory cooler is junk, and won't even keep the CPU cool at stock frequencies. I would like to hear from more people that have attempted to OC their 2500K - what clocks were you able to attain at what temperature increase?
If I go with an aftermarket cooler, what others besides the Hyper 212 are recommended? I read some reviews that the Hyper 212 almost impedes upon the closest (A1) RAM slot in the ASUS motherboard that I have.....
