Hello, I am currently running my i5 7600k at 4.7 hz and 1.33 volts. (I never tested that over lock on less volts I predict I can be stable at 1.27). I am currently getting temps under full load of around 67-73 Celsius. Is this normal for this cooler??? Thank you in advance.

Like others mentioned, it would help to know what ambient room temps are like. Water coolers are still cooled by the surrounding air (or air in the case) just like an air cooler. It would also help to know what "100% load" is, is that playing a game, running intel burn test, p95 and if so which version of p95. Predictions are fine but need to be tested to be validated, if you can run at a lower core voltage (and remain stable) it will lower the heat output.

Your temps aren't dangerously high and neither is the vcore, provided it's a stress test. If just using a basic game or program it's not the best metric to go by for how hot your cpu gets. The reason being if...

The h60 doesn't have that much radiator surface area for heat dissipation. I'd say based on the cooler and temps under load, this is an acceptable temperature. CPU temperature also depends on ambient temperatures in the room your computer is housed in:

You can also see the cpu's max temperature listed here:

Your temps aren't dangerously high and neither is the vcore, provided it's a stress test. If just using a basic game or program it's not the best metric to go by for how hot your cpu gets. The reason being if it's not a stress testing program pushing your cpu harder than a normal program then you think you're maxing at 73c. What happens when you run into another application that happens to push the cpu a bit harder and now your max is 83 or 93c, that's the reason for stress tests. An h60 will also provide only so much cooling and many mid to upper end air coolers will perform head to head with it or outperform it. It's not a 240mm, 280mm or 360mm aio cooler with 2-3x the radiator area like an h100i or h110i.
