I'm considering purchasing a gaming PC with an i7 6700 non-k. I'm wondering if upgrading to a liquid cooler would be necessary to reach its full performance potential (4GHz or higher), or if an air cooler could suffice while still allowing overclocking.

Non-K CPUs feature a fixed multiplier that restricts overclocking to adjustments in BCLK, which may introduce additional complications but is achievable. I'm sure you have all the necessary information to proceed. Are you trying to achieve a specific temperature and stability goal, and what settings are you considering?
