Will a powerful air cooler such as the Dark Rock Pro 4 manage to keep the i9-7940X CPU running cool during overclocking? The CPU is rated at 165W, but the cooler is 250W. I'm considering overclocking and want to know the maximum expected performance if I pair it with an EVGA X299 Dark motherboard.

The cooler supports the LGA2066 connector. Thread relocated from Components to Overclocking.

I understand your concern, but I need to confirm whether it can manage overclocking for this CPU and other X-Treme Series models. Please let me know.
