I desire to overclock my i5 after I'm able to obtain an aftermarket heatsink. Hopefully 3.6GHz isn't too much to ask for overclocking on air, though I hear reports of better.
Anyways, would anyone happen to know of a good heatsink for a budget build? I looked around on Newegg, obviously, and saw this. I believe it works with my socket type and it should fit in the Antec Sonata III case. Is there a better option in a similar price range, or should I stick with that?
Also, I've never overclocked anything. As far as I know, it is simply a matter of changing BIOS settings, testing to see if it boots up, and then running a stress test to make sure the processor is stable? If anyone could enlighten me--tips, a guide, or anything--I would appreciate it.
