Would I need a better cpu fan for overclocking

I am using Intel i5-760 at 2.8 ghz. My motherboard has some switches for easy overclocking so I was thinking of overclocking soon. With the switches I can get to 3.36 ghz. I am currently using the fan provided by Intel, so would I need to get a better one and if so which one. I don't want to spend to much on the fan.

Don't bother. The i5 stock fansink is fine for what you want to do because the "switches" don't actually raise the voltages too much if they even do at all.
