Hi everyone. I am buying these new parts for my pc and since I've already ordered them I am worried since I've done some researched and found out some information that I don't know whether is true or not. I would really appreciate some help and confirmation from everyone :). So I have ordered the parts about and I'm reading things like "the hyper 212 isnt enough for an i7 7700k, when you turn xmp on in the bios to use the full ram mhz it overclocks the 7700k to 4.5ghz and will give you 85 degrees C which is bad, the MSI Z270 PRO CARBON automatically overvollts your processor which is bad and can cause it to overheat as well as having the xmp option on. I am really confused. I just want to know:
when I have windows power plan set on high performance.
what will the ghz of the processor go to and will it overheat
will it throttle at the temperature it will get to
does the msi z270 pro carbon make the processor get even hotter because of overvolting.

I really just need some confirmation about all of this and if these components are gonna actually work (I know they will fit but when I say work I mean not overheat or mess up)

Thank you so much for your help everyone.

Your parts will work just fine. The hyper 212 is a good air cooler but what you were probably reading is that it isn't enough to fully O.C. your CPU. You probably won't reach 5 GHz with the hyper 212 but it'll be plenty enough for a slight overclock of the CPU. If you overclock keep an eye on temps and you'll be fine. As for the MSI gaming pro carbon, I own this board on my Ryzen rig and I can say that I'm not entirely happy with the voltage regulation but it'll stay within safe limits and shouldn't be an issue. On to XMP for your RAM. Nothing to fear here either. Enabling XMP will not touch your CPU clock speed it only enables an overclock of your RAM to the pre loaded profiles. I think what you may have been reading there is...

Hi Jack. First of all thank you for your reply. So really once all of this is together, all I'll really need to do in the bios, is enable xmp for the ram for the 2400mhz speed and thats it. All the voltages and clock speeds should just be fine on their own without me changing anything? Did you have to adjust your voltages and did leaving the voltages as they were when you used the board cause you any issues? Also what kind of temperatures am I going to get with this processor. I rarely close games ever so I'm worried that it will run hot constant and will get worse and worse? Thanks for your help

All you need to do is enable XMP 2400 in the Bios and that's it. You shouldn't need to adjust any voltages. As far as temps I can't really say what you should expect. That will vary from PC to PC due to different case designs, airflow in said case, ambient temps and so on. Ideally you should be somewhere in the high 20C to mid to high 30C at idle. Although 40C at idle isn't too bad either. Run a stress test with prime95 and check your load temps. Prime95 will stress your CPU far beyond what it'll actually see in normal use and anything over 80C is too high. As long as you're not overclocking the CPU your temps should be fine.

Thanks again for the reply :). I was just wondering, is the max the ghz of the processor will go to 4.5ghz? Like if I open a game the max should be 4.5 ghz right as long as I don't touch anything in the bios. I'm considering just setting up all the stuff and not touching the bios settings. Let the ram be at 2133mhz and not touch anything to do with the processor either. Because I game for hours on end without ever closing it so what I'm really asking is, will it only reach 4.5ghz (nothing above that at all) and will the temperatures be good at 4.5ghz? Thanks :)

Also do you mean over 80 degrees in prime is bad, or in general and gaming? And what temperature constantly would you say is bad. Like for example would 75 degrees c constant be bad?

anything 80c and over is not good. At around 85 to 95c your CPU will start to thermal throttle aka slow itself down so it doesn't melt. You shouldn't get anywhere near those temps without overclocking if everything is installed properly. I'd say 70 to 80c is where you might peak during a prime95 run and that'll be fine. Like I said it's a stress test and your CPU will rarely ever see that kind of load on a normal basis. Gaming temps should be around 55 to 70c. If you decide to dabble in overclocking you'll probably need to make the switch to an AIO water cooler to get the max overclock from your chip other than that your hyper 212 should be just fine.

Okay mate :). I may sell my old processor and get a bit of money out of it, so I could get a better air cooler. I am 100% not doing liquid cooling until I have more money in the future. What would you say is a decent air cooler not over £100 that will make sure my temps are way better than the hyper 212?. Thanks for your help

I wouldn't say there's too many that'll blow away the hyper 212. What the hyper 212 gives you is good performance for the money. Anything above that will be an improvement but it'll also come with a cost double or triple that of the hyper 212. I'd suggest reading some reviews here http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-cpu-coolers,4181.html while also making sure they'll fit into your case. Most air coolers are very tall so they can add surface area for cooling. Some are tall and wide and may interfere with your RAM slots so it's actually very personalized.
