Question Understanding Overclocking Clock Speed

[Hypoltan]

I'm looking at the Noctua D15S and the Cryorig H7, two great options to try and cool the i5 9600k paired with the Z390 extreme4.
What I don't really understand is to what clock speed does a CPU cooler allow the 9600k to reach. I know it is all silicon lottery, but is there a "maximum" clock speed the CPU can reach, and if so does the D15s allow it to reach the "maximum" number? And if so, would the h7 also technically allow the 9600k to reach the same number, just at a higher temperature?

What clock speeds would the d15s and h7 help the 9600k reach, on average?

Apologies for the complicated phrasing, I really do not know how to say it otherwise.

The 9600k has a MAX turbo frequency of 4.6GHz and a Noctua D15S will cope with CPU Core frequency up to 3.6MHz. Any higher requires a decent AIO water cooler H110i or equivalent if a dual rad will fit your case. Both Noctua and Cryorig are about the same and represent the best AIR coolers.
You said it yourself, MAX Overclock depends on the sample you have and cooling capability from HSF and case cooling.

Thanks, but I still have a few questions. Looking around, it seems that the D15s is pretty much on par with the H110i in terms of thermals, can it really not achieve an overclock almost if not as good as the AIO? Also, would the H7 allow a turbo frequency of 4.6 GHz, maybe even more?

No air cooler will match a twin rad H110i for cooling capability and a H7 will allow turbo to 4.6GHz as it would throttle down when thermal MAX is reached,
