Will this suffice for cooling when you increase the clock speed of your i7-6700k?

However, the H7 model isn't built for heavy overclocking. You might achieve around 4.3 to 4.4Ghz. For higher speeds of 4.5 to 4.7Ghz, consider a better option like the Noctua NH-D15.

Yes but the H7 wasn't built for heavy overclocking. You might reach 4.3~4.4Ghz. For 4.5~4.7 you'd need a better option like Noctua NH-D15.

I just discovered my motherboard only has 3 system fan headers—would using three 120mm fans be fine? And if yes, how should I set them up for optimal airflow and cooling?
the Cryorig H7 is designed to push air out the back. So one in the back to pull hot air away from the heatsink. Most cases have a top vent for atleast one 120mm and 2 lower front 120mm fan brackets. Least one fan in front to cool the HD's and or SSD's. The last depends on if you need GPU's cooled and have a door 120mm vent. If not last on top pulling hot air out of the case.
