Hello there Fellas!

 

Im planing to OC my i7-8700K but not hardcore. But my question is, how far can i OC a 8700K with a be quiet! pure rock? Im hoping for 4,4 or 4,6, is that even possible with this type of CPU cooler?

 

and yes, i Will get a Much better cooler but not right now.

it already boosts to 4.7 Ghz out of the box, so unless you have a AiO or a really beefy air cooler, go for 5 Ghz if your chip can hit it.

AIOs are pointless, if you have the space a bigger air cooler will win out and will be cheaper

Stock doesn't come with K CPUs
