So I want to overclock my i5-7600k that I might get to 5ghz. Yesterday I posted this

 

After DocSwag and I wrote each other back and forth I was informed that I can overclock the CPU to 5ghz and was also told which motherboard to get. He told me that I should post something on here about a CPU cooler that can support an overclocked i5-7600k. So, which is the best budget CPU cooler? Thanks again DocSwag.

Sweet. Thanks man!

If you don't like the blue LED fan, switch it for a Fractal Design Venturi HP-12

OK thanks for letting me know. I know this is a bit off topic but do you think 8GB of RAM will be enough for my build?

It's still fine, you may run into problems if you like to keep 20 chrome tabs open while also playing a RAM-heavy game, otherwise it's still enough; but keep yourself open to upgrading to 16 if you want.

After looking through the reviews I can see why it's so cheap. There are a lot of problems that I'm afraid of running into. The guy on my last post recommended the CRYORIG H7 and also a big YouTuber with almost the same build as I have is using it. I am willing to spend a bit more money to insure that I am not killing my CPU. Thanks.

 

Here's the link btw:

Random question: Can the gammaxx 400 also support a 6600k @4.4GHz?

Probably.
