That's exactly what I have in my machine and it is hands down one of the best coolers I have ever spent money on, keeps it real cool and the dual 120mm fans are really really quite and moves a lot of air around the heatsink. I would suggest that cooler to anyone to be honest whether you are OCing or not.

if your going to try to get to 4ghz on air then i suggest getting either The prolimatech mega shadow or the thermalright venomous x.

It is tough to install, but it works.
