Can overclocking be achieved with a Cryorig C7?
You can with lots of airflow from case fans, but i do not recommend. The C7 is for compact platforms, like mini-itx or mini-atx cases with restricted space... It's designed to be more quiet and cooler than the stock cpu fan, not designed primarily for performance due to its limited surface area on the heatsink and small fan. If you do overclock, temperatures will get hot - I warn you now, do it at your own risk.
Do you believe I can push the clock speed further? I'm unsure if it's safe. I plan to overclock my AMD Athlon X4 860K, and this cooler seems to handle temperatures well. I recommend keeping it cautious since it's an upgraded yet quiet cooler.
