Air cooling extreme overclock?

[CustomComputerMan]

I have an i5 2500k overclocked to 4.8 Ghz with 1.375 volts.  I had a 240mm corsair aio but when I turn on my computer it gives an extremely musty smell.  Should I buy another watercooler or will an air cooler such as the be quiet dark rock 3 be enough to cool it??

I could barely run my 2500K at 5GHz with 1.4v on a Cooler Master V8, so I think you'll need to stick to water.

The cooler master has the cooling capacity of 180watts, while dark rock pro 3 has 250 watts, which is enough for the i5 at 4,8ghz,

I have a dark rock 3 on a xeon 1650 at 4.5 and 1.355V. It keeps my temps in check at mid to low 70s under load. I can go up to 4.7 at 1.42V and it ventures into the mid 80s. You could get a beefier cooler like the pro 4 and it should help.

I dont know why people still buy and recomend AIO , i bought just 1 and use like 1 week , they are louder, more expensive and could potentially kill all your computer(like throwing a dart ) ,You can check statistics , buy a beefed Air cooler like dark rock pro or noctua nhd15 (Yes aio are prettier but your look wont save you from a leak )  

I had a 2500k and that chip holds temps like a champ, you can push that with a dark rock and the temps should be same or 5º max (i dont think it reaches +3º from your AIO)
