Looking for a cheap fan that will make overclocking possible on intel 2500k

This one? I'm new to fan, it doesn't tell i5 / 1155 compatible should i consider this? (I believe not but just want to ask to make sure..)

Any safe settings to OC / Temp safe to run?

How do you fix it? just like any Intel's one? 4 clips?

Yes that's the one and yes it will work. It says 1156 compatible, which uses the same mounting holes as 1155 (the socket your CPU uses).

Might sound like a silly question, but do I need to buy more grey stuff ( cooling/isolation stuff.. don't know the name..) or do I only need to install the fan and it's ready to go?

Edit: I don't get the fan. Fans are on the sides? explain this to me please, my current fan it right above the cpu. Just trying to figure this out

You need to get Thermal Compound. Arctic Silver 5 is the way to go

It comes with thermal paste, you get one fan to attach to the side but you can put another one on the other side if you want.

You will need thermal paste. If you case doesn't have a cut out behind the motherboard, you will need to remove the motherboard to fit it like i did.

Here's a pic of mine for reference.

I am thinking of getting one too, the water coolers are way to expensive here! :P

Is it really good with OC?

My load temps dropped from 60 to 40 and the noise halved.
