I'm gonna be overclocking a 2600k to about 4.4 - 4.6 is that cooler man enough or is there something else I should consider?

Many thanks

Hi Buzz,
it should be fine but you could also save a bit of money and get either one of these which will all keep the 2600k cool:

Man enough? Naw mate, thats a sissys cooler!

Go the full way and get a noctua D14 for £60 or save your cash and get the cooler master 612S for £35. Thats what real men do

Or go all out and get a Corsair H100

.
