PC overclocked
I am building my PC for the first time and I heard about overclocking. What is it? Do I need to do it?
My motherboard is ASUS P8Z77-V PRO LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with CPU Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 3000 BX80623I72600K.
I plan to get those from newegg.
Thanks

"Yours not only allows this; but Asus ships a utility you can run under Windows that makes it easy to make these changes]." You meant this motherboard, ASUS P8Z77-V PRO LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
I am not sure if I will never use overclocking. But I plan to get this, COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus RR-B10-212P-G1 "Heatpipe Direct Contact" Long Life Sleeve 120mm CPU Cooler Compatible with Intel 1366/1155/775 and AMD FM1/FM2/AM3+ for the CPU. This should be good. Correct?
The one that you recommend is if I want to overclocking, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608018. Correct?

So is ASUS the best motherboard manufacturer in the market currently?

It looks like the Noctua NH-D14 does not support Intel i7 core CPU

I see Intel under the Noctua on that comparison page.
It shows "Intel LGA1366 / 1156 / 1155 / 775" under Noctua. The Core i7 you're looking at is a Socket 1155 processor.
