This CPU cooler appears suitable for overclocking.
I increased my Intel Core i7 2600k to 4.5GHz using the Titan 212 Cooler, but high (90+) readings appear in the Prime95 stress tests (version 26). Should I be concerned about overclocking? Is a water cooler necessary, or did I make an error? If yes, is the Corsair Hydro Series H45 affordable at around £40?
The Corsair H-45 surpasses the H-60, which is akin to a CM Hyper212 evo in liquid form. It's roughly comparable to the Cryorig H7, but at a higher price point.

Simple setup guide available
Exceptional compatibility
No RAM conflicts
Emphasizing broad compatibility, the H7 features an asymmetric slanted heatpipe design that keeps the heatsink away from the RAM area. This ensures ideal performance with both Intel 115X and AMD systems.

I increased my Intel Core i7 2600k to 4.5GHz using the Titan 212 Cooler (link provided), but I’m seeing extremely high (90+) readings in the Prime95 stress tests (version 26). Should I be using a water cooler or did I make an error with overclocking? If yes, would the Corsair Hydro Series H45 be affordable at around £40? Get a cryorig h7 or Hyper 212 and stop. The cooler you currently have is only slightly better than the original.
