@xDutchZomBieHD (part 5) If it were me, I'd go ahead and buy a new cooler anyway since they are fairly cheap now. I'm a "better safe than sorry" kind of guy, so that's my advice.

@xDutchZomBieHD (part 4) In conclusion (sorry, i often ramble, just a details kind of guy, lol)... if you still want to push it all the way to 2.4 Ghz, then YES you should look into getting a better cooler, especially if your cpu gets hot as it is now. The info from the article was to 2.34 Ghz with no upgrade to a better cooling system and their tests showed that is as high as you can go and still maintain stability.

@xDutchZomBieHD (part 3) I'm just the kind of guy that likes to be extra careful, and you can buy good air-based cooling systems fairly cheap these days. But I'm no expert on overclocking so I would highly encourage you to also look online as much as you can and find tutorials, tips, what kind of cooling systems most people use, etc.
it won't let me paste the link to the article here so just do a google search for you processor name and it's the one from xbitlabs.com.

@xDutchZomBieHD (part 2) Just keep a watch on your temperatures. as long as your heatsink and fan and such are dust-free and there is good air flow, you should be okay to beef it up a little. BUT, as always, you do so at your own risk... so be sure to back up your data and such in case something goes wrong. If you can afford it, however, and if your case is big enough, I WOULD recommend upgrading to a more efficient cooling system. You should not really need an expensive liquid-based system tho.

@xDutchZomBieHD An article I found for this specific cpu said that they were able to go as far as 2.34 Ghz and still maintain stability. As long as it's not some weird cheapo paste you should never need to replace it unless you do install a new cooling solution. You just need to replace it whenever you expose it, basically. The most important thing other than the cooling system itself is to KEEP IT DUST-FREE (part 1)..
