Will a Ryzen 7 2700x overclock better on an EVGA CLC 280 or a be quiet Dark Rock Pro 4? I’m considering letting Precision Boost manage the overclocking, so I want to know which setup lets PB perform even higher. Any suggestions?

If you're not going to manually OC the processor, the stock cooler is enough. But I don't think there has yet be a "vs" comparison between those two coolers. You might try
Frosty Tech
to see if he has added those to his reviews and use his charts to compare.

If you're not planning to adjust the processor yourself, the standard cooler should suffice. However, there hasn't been a clear "vs" comparison yet between these two options. You could check Frosty Tech's reviews and charts for a better perspective. I won't be manually adjusting the CPU for a while—unless I gain the confidence to do so. My last attempt with an old GPU nearly caused it to fail, so I'm being more cautious. I might consider overclocking eventually, but for now, I'll stick with the stock cooler. What boost speeds should I expect from each cooler? Also, how noisy is the stock cooler?

You could check Frosty Tech's reviews and use their charts for a better analysis. I won't be manually adjusting the CPU for a while—until I feel confident doing it. My last attempt was with an old GPU, and I nearly damaged it by pushing it to 90°C... now I understand better. I might overclock eventually, but for now I'll stick with the stock cooler. What boost speeds should I expect from the stock cooler and a MSI Mortar motherboard? Also, how noisy is the stock cooler? Without having the 2700 or the rest of my system, I'm just making an educated guess. Have you looked at Tom's HDwr review of the 2700X? It should be very similar. The actual boost speed depends on the number of cores being used and how close the temperature is to the maximum TDP.
