Promblem with cpu temp

No harm in OC on the standard cooler as long as you keep an eye on temperature (which you are doing). Better coolers just mean you can go further before temperature becomes a problem.
 
I would start with a small Overclock and keep a close eye on your temps to see how far you can push your chip with the stock cooler. As with any Overclock you want to ensure it's stable by running Prime95 for a few hours at least. Have a read at this guide first of all and you should be fine.
 
intel have made a decent heatsink to start with i think.

my old q660 quad ran at 45c ish at idel on a stock cooler lol

so for this to idel at 25ish is pretty good consider cpu has extra 2 cores!

i wont need anything crazy for and overclock. and im scared ill try it if i push it to hard cos i havnt a clue what am doing.

will read the guide u gave me cheers.

whats the best bench marking tool to use ive got that 3d mark 11 but. thats just dx 11 is there a standard one people use?
