I was wondering if i need an upgrade from my current cpu cooler, an cooler master hyper 212 EVO, to accommodate my i7 4770K when i overclock it. It shows fine temps on cpu Z (75*C under medium load, OC to 4.0 ghz) but i really need to be sure. I need it to last. Any info u need missing? plz tell. Go to my profile to find the full list of my specs.
