Your motherboard likely has the bios for a 3770k, but the improvement would be so marginal that it's not even close to worth it. Plus, the CPU doesn't contribute to the 3dmark score nearly as much as your GPU(s).

A 2600K overclocks extremely well, though. The last non-enthusiast chip to use a soldered IHS. 4.8-5.0GHz is practically guaranteed if you have the proper cooling.

Is the stock fan proper cooling? I bought one of those water cooling kits in the past but sent it back because I was just to lazy to take out the motherboard again and install the bracket on the bottom of the CPU mount.
