It looks like you're confirming whether the Deepcool AK620 fits in the case. Let me know if you need further assistance!
4000D Airflow supports a maximum of 170mm for tower air coolers.
AK620 fits within 160mm.
Yes.
I removed the side panel and played the same game yesterday when it reached 90c. I've been monitoring temperatures for three hours, and it hasn't exceeded 70.5c. That's a nearly 20-degree gap—really surprising! I'm still unsure if it's due to the case design or the Kraken cooler, so I'm considering getting both. This site keeps me learning something new every time.
The 4.9Ghz max boost is only achievable when just one core is being boosted. Boosting two cores would likely result in around 4.8Ghz, while three or more boosted cores might push it down to 4.7Ghz or less. There’s existing information about this behavior if you’re interested.
If removing the side panel caused such a significant temperature rise, it strongly suggests poor airflow is the issue. Regardless, upgrading to a better cooler is essential since there aren’t any 120 or 140mm AIO coolers that I’d consider adequate for the 9700k, whether stock or otherwise. A minimum of a top-quality air cooler or at least a 240mm AIO would be ideal.
It would also be wise to install an additional case fan in the Top-Rear position at the top of the case. Using three intake fans (front) and two exhaust fans (rear and top-rear) would greatly improve airflow through the system, easing the workload on your graphics card and CPU cooler.
