What is the maximum you believe I could achieve with a Kraken X62? This comes up since summer in Australia can hit as high as 40 degrees Celsius.
Should I swap the thermal compound that's already there for my Arctic Silver, and would that be superior to the one that came pre-applied?
Which voltage are you currently using for your 7700k overclock?

1. each 7700K behaves differently, but as long as temperatures and voltages stay safe, it works fine.
2. the variation between thermal compounds is small and the paste from NZXT performs well.
3. if you don’t have the 7700K, focus on keeping voltages and temperatures within safe ranges and observe how high you can push the stable multiplier with the required voltage. Don’t start by comparing to others, just evaluate your own results.
