as per the title would the NH-D15S be a good cooler for the i7-7700k given its reputation for toasty'ness. i had to rule out the nh-d15 as noctua told me it would block the top mini pci on my board choice (z270 taichi, it only has one mini pci, i need it for my wifi card).

i doubt im going to overclock the 7700k, but i may in the future, just how suitable is the 7700k for air cooling?

thankyou for all and any help

well that link was an interesting read, im not sure if i should delid and/or sue intel :)

the marketing hype of aio superiority over "old school" air had made picking out the facts a bit of a chore. the dark rock pro 3 seems to have a small footprint, iv emailed them regarding my pcie slot issue.

thankyou for ur help
