i7 7700k cpu cooler

[NoobiexD]

Will the Cryorig H7 be enough for the i7 7700k?

[The Sloth]

yes just have a realistic expectation, the 7700k gets hotter than the 6700k. 

[NoobiexD]

in that case wouldn't it be best to get the 6700k then?

its really up to you depends what you do, if you watch Netflix the 7700k has an advantage. in most things its impossible to tell the difference between the 6700k and the 7700k. if you have a aio like h100 or a x61 you can get the 7700k to 5ghz. 

[joshfrog]

yes and no

theres some new stuff on the 7700k like bein able to watch netflix in 4k but unless you need the stuff in it get the 7700k otherwise a 6700k will b good enough

no because the 7700K has more performance.

basically the 7700K is a factory overclocked 6700K (plus some other enhancements, but those are minor) because of this, the 7700K is very good at overclocking, and is overclocked (compared to the 6700K) out of the box.

 

because of this, it does run a little hotter

no because the 7700K generally clocks a bit higher and has some DRM features you might want for 4K streaming

 

so, the cryorig h7 should be perfectly fine with the i7 7700k?
