Cryorig r1 ultimate for i7 7700k

[Nicho_]

Hi! My question is would the cryorig r1 ultimate be good for the i7 7700k?
I know there are better coolers out there and watercooling is a whole other story aswell but I am on a tight budget. I'd like to be able to oc to about 4.5 ghz without it passing 75°C.Thanks in advance

Yes the r1 ultimate will be able to cool the 7700k and put in a good overclock as well. Should be able to handle 4.5ghz.

One of the best CPU air coolers on the market... Other options include: beQuiet Dark Rock Pro 3 (I have it on my i7 6700K OCed to 4.6ghz), Noctua NH-D14/NH-D15- which have the best cooling and are also quiet (but the fans don't look that great). 4.5ghz is the Turbo Frequency for the i7 7700K so you should aim higher with your OC (I suggest 4.8ghz).

So apparently the r1 ultimate won't even fit in my case (phantek p400)
How about the cryorig h5, would it fit? And be able to cool the cpu well ?

If you want something that performs almost as well as the r1 ultimate but also fits within the 160mm cpu cooler height in the case, this would work:

Scythe Fuma
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Scythe-SCFM-1000-SCFM-1000-Fuma-CPU-Cooler/dp/B016XLGATE

149mm and performs only about 5 degrees hotter than the top air coolers (r1, d15 etc)

Unfortunately that cpu cooler doesnt exist on the market in my country :/. Do you have another cooler in mind that would work ? thanks

If case cleareance is an issue, amd the Scythe is not available where you live (I would check again on multiple websites), get the Cryorig H5 or H7. Alternatively you could get an 240mm AIO.

Looks like Im gonna end up with an h5. Seems to suit my needs but I'll have to look around a bit more. Thanks for your help!
