Selecting the right CPU fan for your processor is important.

That's the fan I ordered. I purchased an Intel i7 6700k at 4ghz from Amazon. (I'm not sure if they overclocked it beforehand). Will this fan be enough? I'm really concerned about the CPU. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
This isn't significantly improved over the stock cooler included with the CPU. The CPU itself isn't overclocked by default. Or perhaps you received a pre-assembled system already equipped with an i7-6700k processor? In that scenario, you would need to contact the manufacturer.
If you don't intend to modify the CPU's performance, the standard cooler should suffice.

That isn't significantly improved compared to the cooler that came with the CPU. It seems the CPU wasn't overclocked at the time of purchase. Or perhaps you received a pre-assembled unit with an i7-6700k already installed? In that scenario, you'd need to consult the builder.

I’m not aiming for an OC setup, it’s a gaming rig and I personally wouldn’t need more than 4GHz. I’m uncertain about any tasks that would benefit from extra cooling. Thanks for clarifying—I thought this was OEM, which matched my expectations but I felt a bit unsure about it.
P.s. I assembled the system myself; the CPU was ordered from Amazon at that exact clock speed. I understand GPUs can be overclocked or "super clocked," but I wasn’t sure if the RHODGE would need superior cooling given the i7-6700k typically runs around 3.6GHz stock.
Thanks!
