Default Am I Ready For OCing?
I am also working on OCing, my first step was the cooler (Prolimatech Megahalems + Push Fan) -- Still have to buy the pull fan.
I got it for €60 -USD90 - GBP54
Temps ~ idle 19C -- Full load 30C
I think considering Air Cooling Its Fair Enough!

Room Temp about 18C

With stock cooler I was getting idle 32C -- Full load 60C

Now whats my next step?

Yeah you should be good to go, atleast your cooling is good. But make sure to read up on how to OC and such if you haven't and be careful. you wouldnt want to fry your i7.

Thanks for your reply, Yes I found an interesting tutorial how to OC an i7 on a Gigabyte GA-EX53-xxx up to 4Ghz...

Is 4Ghz too much?

4Ghz is hit all the time with i7. Don't worry. If you watch your temps, and don't go over the rated voltage, you shall be fine.
