So I'm looking to see if the Cryorig H7 Quad Lumi cooler can overclock well. It is a 160W TDP Cooler with 4 copper heatpipes, has a good heatsink and fan, and looks visually appealing. If I stuck this on something like an 8700K/9700K/2700X or even a 9900K, what kind of overclock should I be able to achieve (just a range/ballpark) assuming I have a motherboard with decent to good overclocking potential? Thanks for any insight or advice.

Its just H7 with 2 fancy fans. You can find reviews with bit of researching. Bottom line is that you can get OC going, but it won't be fantastic. Look at average OC on most of the chips. If you are willing to have high temps.

Really? I thought it was just one white LED fan and RGB functionality with an extra 6mm copper heatpipe when compared to the H7.

I think I recall @WoodenMarker saying that the one extra heatpipe and new fan doesn't make too much of a temperature difference, even with the honeycomb design on the H7 Quad Lumi.

They both use a honey comb design for the fins. 

@LoGiCalDrm was probably referring to the H7 Plus which is slightly worse than the Quad Lumi. 

 

Either can keep temps in check for the cpus mentioned but there isn't a lot of oc'ing room. 

You can see some examples here: https://pcpartpicker.com/builds/by_part/bHcMnQ#c=1169,1167,1129,1179

I'd expect 4.5 - 4.7ghz for the 8700k, 3.9 - 4.2ghz for the 2700x and not much more than stock for the 9700k / 9900k.
