Wow you keep your house cold!

Thanks everyone I tried it but was too uncomfortable with the temp spikes up to 88C while just opening Origin.

Ok thanks. What kind of overclock should I try? 4.8 Ghz ?

Also one more thing should the air be blowing onto the heatsink or away ?

I did. Actually a 140 or 150x25mm fan just earlier! It has mount holes for 120mm! So it worked! Not sure if it helped a lot because I forgot what temps were before with the 120x15mm fan lol. I know in Prime95 2.6.6 it only went up to 81C

I fear my only option is water cooling :( Oh well. It is ok. I just prefer not to use a AIO. LIAN LI PC-O12WX https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112559

Ok thanks which means ?

Ok but then I saw this: https://hardforum.com/threads/dan-hslp-48-a-powerful-sub-50mm-heatsink.1925480/

I tried that but switched to a Scythe SCBSK-2100 120mm Sleeve BIG Shuriken 2 Rev. B

i7 7700k

Thanks will it ever be possible to overclock with a low profile cooler ?

I know stupid question. Sorry.

I believe the Scythe SCBSK-2100 120mm Sleeve BIG Shuriken 2 Rev. B is the best!

What about the best one for a i7 7700k ?

No I can't I don't think. I ended up getting a the Thermalright AXP-200 Muscle at 73 mm with fan. (Includes slim fan) At first my idle temps were 39C with load at 75C with it. Now after organizing my case pc cables I get 29 to 33C idle temps and 68C load temps. What kind of temps do you...
