Can I overclock my I5-7600k with COOLERMASTER Hyper H411R?

[skgm1034]

Hi,

If you have some experience with the combination of the above two parts, would you recommend to overclock the CPU to 4.5Ghz at least?
The goal is 5.0Ghz.

Thank you very much. Your answer is appreciated.

It should be able to handle 4.5, i would recommend getting a better thermal paste like arctic silver 5 or thermal Grizzly kryounaut. You might get to 5 GHz but I might recommend a better cooler for that.

5GHz is going to be a bit of a stretch for that chip, and certainly not on the H411R, unless you hit the silicon lottery.

The H411R will be fine for some light-moderate OCing, to 4.5GHz or so.
