I purchased a 2500k with a Z77 motherboard and am really looking forward to overclocking. This chip is one of the most famous for overclocking, so I have a few questions. I’ve already overclocked AMD systems before, but switching to Intel is different. I also bought a CryoH7 cooler and want to know how it will keep the 2500k cool. Can I reach around 4.5GHz without temperatures getting too high? What kind of overclock should I aim for with this cooler, given that it’s a decently binned chip? Thanks for your help.

The h7 provides ample performance. Previously, many used a 212+ which is still in my 2500k and reached 4.7ghz before temperatures rose for regular use. The h7 offers better cooling. 4.5ghz is average and results are uncertain. It's like a CPU lottery—how could you be sure it's solid?
