Hello,
I want to know that is it worth to add extra 18 euros for a dark rock pro 4 if i have i7 8700k?
Right now i have Arctic Freezer 7 pro because i had it allready and i had no money at the time when i bought new mobo and cpu.
When I play csgo right now my cpu will have 60-80 C. I know its much but i dont want it to be that hot anymore because i might start streaming soon and then i will fuck up my cpu.
I might OC it too so can i even do it with dark rock 4?
Last question is that will it fit to my bitfenix shadow case and can i install those coolers without taking the mobo out?

My specs:
Asus Prime z370 p
Gtx 960 4gb MSi
Crucial Ballistix sport lt 16 gb 2666
bitfenix shadow
Seasonic S12II Series S12II-620 Bronze
i7 8700k
arctic freezer 7 pro

Btw I have single Ram stick and it will not be a problem that the cooler will block my ram. Sorry for bad english :)

I've seen one comparison. The Pro was about 5C cooler than the normal Dark Rock.

But with the Pro you get 2 fans and the ability to mount a 3rd fan on it, potentially decreasing temps or noise.

Anyway, both should be a big improvement over the one you own now.
