Cooling Why is it not recommended to overclock with a low profile cooler?

Ok thanks.

What kind of overclock should I try?

That probably won’t go well but give it a shot and see. Just run whatever apps or games you normally run and keep a check on temps. If it’s too much, drop it down and rinse and repeat.

For reference:
My delidded 8700k at stock clocks and a cryorig c7 would be in mid/upper 80’s in prime but gaming it averaged mid 60s and a couple of peaks into the mid upper 70’s.

I also looking into this. As I would like to see if you can use a 8700k OC to 5.0 delided.

Cant be over 66mm though...
