Hi everyone, I'm trying to boost the i5 4460 to 3.20 to 3.40 MHz and wondering if the stock cooler for my H81M-C board will work properly?

It's not the same as pushing the processor beyond its specifications, as turbo boost is usually within range by default. Turning it on won't cause any issues.

I don't recall which non-Z boards support OSC or not, but the stock heat sink should work. My CPU runs at 3.7-3.5 with 1 core to 4 cores and is compatible with 3.2-3.4 like yours.
