If you're overclocking inside of a closed cabinet, you may need to get an aftermarket CPU cooler (for overclocking either CPU). The stock coolers may not cut it. This seems like a good choice... https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099 Also, I always recommend using a case (even a really cheap case) because the case exhaust/intake fans are an important part of the cooling. Air has to move through the case to cool the motherboard chipset heatsinks and it also helps move hot air away from the CPU and GPU coolers. Without the case airflow, the hot air just hangs around the hot spots. GroovyMAME support forum on BYOAC
