Hi

 

I want buy and build my first PC (Click here for the specs)

I have some question about Oc'ing with my CPU.

 

Is the air cooler enough for (light) overclocking?

Is Mugen 4 or Coolermaster Evo 212 better?

If I do Overclocking, do I have still guarantee? 

 

My budget is around €35 / $40 (US)

I live in the Netherlands

I would have to disagree and say don't overclock at all with the stock cooler. I would recommend something aftermarket first.

I am able to get away with 1.275v while still having reasonable temps with the 212 evo, however, it is not the quietest cooler. It is great for small overclocks, even on a 4790k

CPU: I7 4790K(4.6@1.252v)                               Case: Fractal Design Define R5 Windowed(Black)           Cooler: CM 212 EVO + NF F12 iPPC

RAM: HyperX Fury 1600MHZ CL10 2x4GB      Storage: Samsung 850 EVO(250GB) + WD Red(2TB)      PSU: Corsair RM750 (and no, it hasn't blown up!)

MoBo: Asus Maximus VII Ranger                      Graphics: MSI GTX 970 TwinFrozr (1494MHZ Core)       OS: Windows 10 Enterprise
