Hi,
I'm currently running a 3770k 3.5 oc'd to 4.2 and a EVGA GTX670 FTW (single fan) on an MSI Z77A-G45 mobo.
My primary use is Planetside2, ultra settings which is very CPU intensive and thus I need to overclock further. However, I'm already hitting temps of 65 and 79+ on the CPU and GPU respectively.
I'd like to OC the CPU further and would like cooling recommendations for both systems. Sometimes in Planetside, I get some texture problems I believe due to the heating up of the videocard.
Here are some questions I'd like to crowdsurf:
1) Should I consider replacing the mobo for something better to OC the i7?
2) I'm currently running stock fans on the chip. Any recommendations on a performance CPU cooler thats still fairly easy to install.
3) I have the GTX670 which seems to have less support than the 680, and it also has the weird 2 power cords stacked on top of each other. Any recs for an aftermarket cooler for that as well?

If you would like more info, just let me know.
Thanks and I appreciate your advice!
Cheers,
Alex
