So Ive put a cryorg h7+ on a i7 7700k.

Theres probably less than 10mm between the rear rad fan and the start of the rear exit fan. So less than 20mm. So i removed it.

Should i put it back on?

What are your temps now and what they are with the fan? That's usually the deciding factor.

Dropped a delided cpu on the ram and smashed the threading on the mb. So only 1 ram slot worked. Thats was a maximus ix. A expensive lesson.

So i was just passing parts onto my kid. The i7700k does 5.3 oc. Silicone lottery.

She doesnt need a oc.

Theres a cryorg h7 on it now, so theres maybe 30mm between the rear cpu fan and the rear exit holes. I feel air being blown out the back, and meh, if i had a spare quiet pwm fan id put that in and be done with it.

I cant be bothered testing.
