I am going to buy a new PC with an i7 7700k (I know there are good alternatives, but it is my friends CPU, got a good deal). Anyway, will the BeQuiet Pure Rock suffice for using the CPU at 4.5 Ghz or even higher?
 
Solution
It's listed as a 150W cooler, the CPU needs a 130W solution, it'll allow a minor OC, or reasonable turbo levels if you keep it fed with fresh air. It's not great (i'd be looking for something >200W for great performance), but it's not poor, it's perfectly appropriate.
