Yes, my H7 has been serving me well for my 6600k even at 4.5Ghz. Im just not sold to AIOs as one already gave up on me. X52 Kraken.

Geez! Good thing I asked first. Might go with a dual tower this time. Maybe a Dark Rock Pro 3? What cooler are you using now? Thanks.

I get your point now and I think its worth considering. However I'm not so sure if my CPU + the cash I'm willing to use will cover up the price of that 7700k. I had plans for selling my current CPU and Motherboard and add just a little more for a Ryzen platform which costs considerably cheaper than Intel's.

Yup, my CPU and Motherboard is already posted in a marketplace. Lets see if I have enough bucks to throw in a beefier cooler.

For what I've seen in most YouTube videos, overclocking the 2600X doesn't yield huge gains in performance so I might just run it stock and let XFR 2.0 take control.

Its cheaper by $48-give or take.

I have a Cryorig H7 tho. I'm not sure if Cryorig will provide the bracket for free (shipping and all). If not, it would probably cost me shipping so I might just use that money for a better cooler.

Yes that is my case. The 1600X is almost priced the same as 2600 non X (at least here in my place).

Been running an i5 6600k clocked at 4.5Ghz for games until I bought a GoPro Hero 5. I'm starting to use the CPU more and more and I'm probably asking a dumb question and should just go for it

That's a lot, thanks. I do have an NZXT S340 Elite so I think I'll be fine with height clearance for the case. I also checked PCPartPicker and found one Maximus/H7 combo and it was ok.

I lost my faith on AIOs when it broke last Monday. I think my GSkill Ripjaws V is fairly low profile. x52 is currenty under NZXT's inspection as per store that I bought it from. I'm not going to wait for it and replace it immediately with an air cooler for lower maintenance. Then I'll sell the x52 when it arrives. I can sell it almost with the price of a brand new one.

Hi Guys, I'm replacing my NZXT Kraken x52 with a Cryorig H7. Im wondering if it will fit with my motherboard being an Asus Z270F Strix Gaming. Anybody on this setup?
