Ok.
My plan is to over clock my e6300 stock 1.83GHz, to something higher, what do you recommend i clock it to. Heres the cooler i had in mind.

is that good? , will AS5 be needed? at all.

and to be prepared, i plan to view Ku's video, and read and know Oc101.
Then, maybe some extra research if i feel i dont feel prepared.


any tips you can share with me about over clocking?
like if i mess up, could i kill my cpu for good?


And ill be using air cooling with an intake fan, sorta blocked by hdd rack, and then an outtake, i might cut a fan hole, either in or out on top, and would i over do it by adding another on the side?

Yes you could screw the CPU so go slow and move up in small steps.
Find out how to reset the BIOS quickly because you'll probably need to do that a few times before you get something stable.

Make sure your temperature monitor is reasonably accurate if you can.
