Corsair hydro H50.
Its a contained unit, however installation is not trivial, I had to fully remove my mobo to gain access to the backside of it to install the backplate for the cooler.
Furthermore the radiator/fan assembly is HUGE and doesn't "fit" anywhere in my case, and secondly the water tubes are too rigid to twist it enough to mount to the side of my computer.
Currently I have my computer on its side, case off, with my cooler unit hanging off the back of it. Its ghetto.
However, the desired performance has been reached.

Never use software. ALWAYS use BIOS to overclock. You'll attain inaccurate values on voltages and temperature using software overclock.
Perferred software to monitor temperature is "CoreTemp" as it reads from the built-in Intel/AMD sensors (on the cpu itself). Make sure you google for the proper version (x86/32-bit or x64/64-bit).
Overclocking with BIOS takes patience and testing, so take your time.

is it true that you have restart your computer everytime you change a single value when oc'ing?

i have no idea what im doing, but its working, LOL !
set your multiplier high as shit and increase the freq a notch at a time. once u reach a freq that fails, increase voltage until it works (within reason). and the keep adding freq and voltage until temps get too hot.
whenever u make any change, test with prime 95 and watch temps with coretemp. u only have to test with prime95 for 10 mins, bad setting usually crash right away.
