I'd get an SLK 900-U heatsink and a high speed 80MM fan for any serious overclocking. Something like the thermaltake Smartfan 2 or something is great.

yeah, but many 92MM fans push less CFM which is what you want for hardcore overclocking...high CFM delta style baby! :p

However, if 84CFM at 55dBA is too much 75CFM at 48dBA is fine for me
