Will This Work?

I decided not to go with an AIO because of prices, so I choose this air cooler. Can it cool a slightly overclocked 7700k. The theme is white so if you know other coolers like this feel free to share. For reference of clearance i'm using the z270 platform (obviously) and Vengeance LPX which is low profile.

Should work fine for what your doing

That cooler should handle a "slightly overclocked" i7-7700K just fine.

It looks like a decent cooler.

 

I had a Scythe Mine 2, which looks similar to what you posted.

 

My CPU temps on my E8400 at default speeds were:

 

Intel stock cooler

Idle: 45 ish

Load: 75-80

 

Scythe Mine 2

Idle: 30 ish

Load: 55-60

Hello, This air cooler should work fine, but If you plan on overclocking more in the future, you can still go the air cooled route, just you might want to consider something a little more expensive and high-end, like the Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 3, or the Noctua NH-D15. These are priced around $90.

Considering the scythe fuma costs less and performs on par with an Nh-d15 I would say no.
