if you want to do a good oc like 4.5 or.4.3 i would get a little bit better cooler i was running a nic c5 when i first got the cpu and i was still at 4.5 .. and these amd cpus dont get really hot like the intel ones do when you put a good oc on them i run 4.5 at 25 c at idle and under load i max out at like53c witch is way better then any intel that i have seen
