I receive a Cooler Master CM 690 III with NZXT Kraken X52 liquid cooling. Will this manage an overclocked i7 7700k to about 4.8 GHz while streaming? The X52 is similar to the X62, around 2/3 of a temperature drop. I'm using a 4.2 GHz i7 and a GTX 1080 Ti with 11GB RAM in an Asus Prime Z270-A case.

I have the same cooler with the same CPU. Based on my own overclocking experience and this setup, I think the result depends on the quality of the chip. My 7700k can reach 4.7 ghz at 1.18v, which keeps my load temperatures between 65°C and 75°C. But when I try to hit 4.8 ghz, I need to increase the voltage to 1.3v for a stable overclock. At that voltage, temperatures will rise to around 100°C and cause throttling. Others can achieve 5ghz or even less with similar settings. It really depends on your specific chip. I wouldn’t expect a guaranteed overclock speed—just aim for the lowest possible voltage and keep an eye on your temperatures.

As long as the fans are running to bring in fresh air from outside the case, you can reach around 4.8ghz. However, with the 7700K it gets quite hot quickly—keep temperatures under 80°C and it should work well.

I have the same cooler with the same CPU. Based on my own overclocking experience and what I've seen, it seems that success depends largely on the quality of the chip. My 7700k can reach up to 4.7 ghz at 1.18v, which keeps my load temperatures between 65°C and 75°C. However, when I try to push it to 4.8 ghz, I need to increase the voltage to 1.3v for a stable overclock. At that higher voltage, temperatures will rise to around 100°C and cause throttling. Other users might achieve 5ghz or even less at similar settings. Ultimately, it depends on your specific chip. I wouldn't expect a guaranteed high overclocking speed—just aim for the lowest possible voltage and keep an eye on your temperatures.
