Detailed explanation-1: -a mild overclock may not bump up temperatures that much, so you won’t need additional cooling, but if you’re trying to push your CPU as far as it will go, then you want as much cooling as possible.
Detailed explanation-2: -The number one problem caused by overclocking the CPU is overheating. Overheating will cause your CPU to fail, and can also cause permanent damage. Overclocking will sometimes introduce an element of sporadic performance in your computer.
Detailed explanation-3: -Air cooling is fine for moderate overclocks, but for those who want to push their chip to the brink of death just to get every last drop of performance, they’d go liquid cooling. If you’re overclocking, a fairly large heatsink is preferable. Just don’t push too hard on the throttles.
