Air cooler suitable for moderate overclocking on i7 7700K
Hello, I'm thinking about buying a Cryorig H7 air cooler for my new i7 7700K and want to know if it's adequate for a mild overclock. Since I haven't done any overclocking before, but am excited to try, would this be enough to hit around 4.5 GHz? The H7 seems like the top choice in the sub-$50 range, which fits my budget. I'd also appreciate any other cooler recommendations within the same price range.
The 7700k operates at 4.4ghz across all cores with standard clocks. A budget GAMMAXX 300 can achieve speeds between 72 to 79 depending on your case cooling and environment. The Cryorig H7 would suffice for up to 4.8, potentially more if you have a capable chip that supports overclocking at lower voltages. Nevertheless, a moderate overclock doesn't significantly impact the 7700k, as it is already somewhat overclocked.

I've heard that moderate overclocking can be challenging, but I believe investing in a high-quality air cooler is essential if you plan to push the system further. Summer is coming up, and the 7700K tends to get quite hot.
I already have a collection of mid-range CPU coolers, so I might have saved money by sticking with the NH D15S I currently use.
