Hello,
I'm planning on buying the Hyper 212+ to install onto my i5 760 so I can overclock it a reasonable amount. I don't have any experience changing the cooler, and what are the risks of changing the cooler? if I mess anything up, what is the worst that could happen?
Also, would i need to pick up any thermal paste? I saw Arctic Silver 5 which apparently is quite good, but how much will it help my overclocking capability?

It's hard to say how much if at all it will help the overclocking but it will help lower the temperatures a couple of degrees usually.

Okay, would it be possible for me to install it by removing the right panel of my case? I'd rather not take out everything in my computer.

Yes it is possible to change it with the mobo in situ as your case has a large cut out on the mobo tray.



However while it is possible, you may find it easier to remove the mobo, but the choice is yours.
