will it help me to overclock the cpu
827035
No. This item will only cool your CPU. Overclocking your CPU will shorten it's life and you'll have to get a new one so think about getting a better CPU.
827036
Yes, I've easily and stably OC my INTEL DZ77GA-70K with an i5 3570K to 4.5ghz while running Windows 8.
827037
Yes. I'm running an i5 3570k at 4.2ghz, and that's .8ghz over stock. Idle temps are 30c, load is 60c. Don't expect to go buck wild but this will work for overclocking. Also, I recommend a push pull configuration for the best results.

Yup. If you have no experience, it comes with some software that will automatically overclock up to 4.6GHz it for you, if you want to go higher you would have to do it manually through the software or bios.

You know, I never thought of that. Any processor that is socket-compatible should work UP TO its rated speed (I wouldn't ever overclock anyway-I used to work for Intel & they sometimes locked the processor against overclocking, or used to).

Not that great for overclocking. I'm using it with a 65w I5 CPU and it runs plenty cool. Overclocking would go beyond it's thermal rating pretty quick. I recommend one of their larger CPU coolers.

I have that AMD cpu but, I don't know how well it would suite your needs. Have you tried looking at AMD's website to see the processor's full set of specs? It might provide you more insight.

Yes it will the motherboard has a 8 Pin CPU connector but a 4 pin CPU connector will work just fine for most CPU's. I would not try overclocking with only the 4 pin CPU installed.

I would absolutely recommend! This CPU's 6 cores is more than capable of handling the task. Its not overkill at all. However, there is more than just the CPU in question. What Motherboard do you have? I'd recommend this CPU for your purpose if your motherboard & cpu cooler would allow for some overclocking at least. I have this CPU at 4.7GHz, thats not necessary for your task, but just to give an idea. Also to further your cause I would also recommend no less than 16GB of RAM clocked at least at 1600Mhz, but 2133MHz RAM speed would hit a home run with this CPU.

No you can not (at least not officially). There are work-arounds you can do and some bios updates that you can apply but intel claims that it's an exploit and plans to patch it sometime. You need a Z87 for overclocking along with a "K" model intel processor.

Should be fine with your CPU - be careful with overclocking though, if you intend to do that. Otherwise, it's a fine motherboard and hasn't given me any issues.

No that's a gimmick. You can overclock it yourself for free with free software. You will void the warranty however and likely fry the thing unless you know what you're doing. This is an amazing card out of the box, you'll enjoy it.
1689633
yes it will work with the 8350, as for over clocking I am not so sure, even with my corsair h80, I have not really tried to OC the board or my cpu yet.

It can be overclocked but like all overclocking you will want adequate cooling. Also note overclocking can and usually does result in some instability.
905297
Yes although you will be unable to overclock and take advantage of the processor's unlocked capabilities. For overclocking you will require a board with an intel z77 chipset.

Simple answer. Yes. I have a new computer with this PSU and that gen. Of cpu

For Gaming no, it would not really help. Games don't use 4 cores and really wouldn't make much difference, if any at all. For CPU heavy tasking such a video encoding and such, yes it would help. But, I seriously doubt you could tell the difference in gaming.
1415888
Yes. Go to cpuupgrade.com and put in your board and it will list the processors.
1006133
Yes, but the memory will be downclocked to 1600mhz. 1333mhz depending on your CPUs memory controller.
