i7 7700K cpu cooler

[Michael_355]

i currently have the Be Quiet! Dark Rock TF (https://www.pccasegear.com/products/35595/be-quiet-dark-rock-tf-cpu-cooler) as my cpu cooler, would this be good enough to cool my cpu (i7 7700k) even when overclocking? thanks

Its a bit better than the D14 and bit less than the D15s. It should get you 4.7~5Ghz if your really lucky.

LOL nah. This CPU has Sh*t for temps. I was gettings high 80's (88C) on stock OC with a decent cooler. I have a custom loop now with 360mm rad and 240mm and delidded mine. STILL hit 93C max. Stock settings you will be fine but do not expect a 5ghz overclock and good temps.

It's a fantastic cooler, ignore Poozle.

I never said it was not... I simply said this CPU has thermal issues.

The graph provided above shows a 10C drop. that is quite a bit.

The Graph is an overclocked load test so should handle the 7700k pretty good. Luck of the silicon lottery tho as I said really lucky.
