What cooling options exist for your CPU? With strong cooling you could achieve 4.6Ghz at 1.3V. If not, I’d opt for 4.3GHz. I own the original Intel cooler that came with the CPU—would it still work at 4.6? It might get warm, so try it and monitor the temperatures during stress tests. You’re unlikely to damage your PC before reaching harmful temps. For safe overclocking to 3.6Ghz or higher, I suggest the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo. Just verify the temperatures at 4.6Ghz; if they exceed 90°C, stick with 4.3Ghz until you can install an aftermarket cooler.
What cooling options are available for your CPU? With adequate cooling, you could achieve 4.6Ghz at 1.3V. If not, a 4.3GHz option would be better. I own the original Intel cooler that came with the CPU—do you think it could support 4.6Ghz?
