I have been wanting to overclock my E7400 (2.8 Ghz) for some time now, but as a first time overclocker, I'm not sure if I have enough cooling to keep it stable. My case has a side panel fan and a rear fan, both 120mm. When I ordered my stuff, I didn't think about buying any extra cooling so I'm using the stock heatsink, and I picked up this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...ermal&lp=1&type=product&cp=1&id=1075583463530 from best buy. Would it be safe to try and overclock with this setup?
Is this enough cooling to OC?

You can overclock with the stock cooler, you just have to watch the temperatures. You wont get as far as you could with a more efficient cooler, but you should see some improvement.
