Why not try pushing your chip up  in increments until its no longer cooling well enough? 

add .1Ghz, P95 for  10-20 minutes rinse and repeat

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

Expecting such a high overclock you're bound to be disappointed. Im cooling my 6600k with a 240mm AIO and im not getting past 4,7Ghz if i want to stay under 1.4V.

The Dark Rock Pro 3 is a beast cooler but to get a good overclock you have get a lucky chip as well.

It's dual tiower cooler. It will be good for cooling performance. Rest depends on your chip.
