It's okay as long as you don't increase vcore much.

So IOW, you'll likely get to around ~ 3.2 GHz before you start having temps issues.

But its installation/retention system is utterly horrible. I'd suggest a better heatink because of that alone.

Noctua NH-U12F isn't too pricey, isn't too heavy, isn't too large, & is quite quiet, but it still cools extremely well.
