hey gamers on christmas im getting a 9700k, and an h100i platinum edition. i have 4 case fans on top of this. it's in the rl06 from silverstone. i've never overclocked a system before, what do you guys think i'll be able to get with this?

(if it matters, I have a zotac mini gtx 1070)

its all about the silicon lottery, you may get a golden chip and be able to overclock it a ton and then u may get a bad chip and not be able to overclock it at all.  While cooling does obviously help, thats not all that determines it

I'd skip it and get a 3700x imo. No hyperthreading is a deal breaker for me.
