Runs fine on the stock cooler, but I've been advised to upgrade if I want to do any overclocking.

Looking for an easy install (straight swap) if possible, no liquid or other exotics.

thanks

We need your specs to help you, CPU, Motherboard, etc.

The stock Intel cooler can handle mild to moderate overclocking...you only need to look at heavy duty third party coolers when you start to really push the system and start increasing the vcore voltage to keep the system stable. Just overclocking by raising the motherboard FSB doesn't increase CPU temps much, it's when you raise the vcore voltage that the temps will start to shoot skyward.
