Just a brief question, I'm trying to boost my 8700k from 3.7ghz to 4ghz. I'm using a Cryorg H7 cooler now and plan to switch to liquid cooling later. My current setup includes a Fractal Design Meshify C case with two front 120mm fans and one at the back, giving decent airflow. I want to know if this overclock will make the CPU too hot with my present cooling solution. It's not extreme, so I think it should be okay.

Details:
CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K 3.7GHz 6-core
MoB: Gigabyte Z370 AORUS GAMING WIFI (rev. 1.0) ATX LGA1151
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-2666
CASE: Fractal Design Meshify C ATX Mid Tower
PSU: EVGA 625w

i7 8700K supports automatic turbo boosting all six cores up to 4.3 ghz as required. H7 should work well.
