So I'm working on a new build after selling off my wife's old PC (Phenom II x4 955 build) and giving her my current gaming PC (i5-7600k build).
For my new case I used a Phanteks P400S, motherboard - Asus Z370-P, CPU - Intel i5-8600k with a CRYORIG H5 cooler. I installed my own Enermax/Artic fans in the new case, two 140mm intake front fans and two 120mm out take fans (one top and one rear).
After loading all the software I went into BIOS and set all the fans to normal settings (around 600 rpm) while enabling the "Auto Asus OC to 5ghz" feature on the motherboard (AVX enabled). My basement office typically stays cool around 62f and I used HWmonitor to capture all temps, fan speed & CPU voltage.
A quick run of Cinebench had the CPU touching 80c with voltage easily breaking 1.4v. I went into BIOS and set the CPU to 4.8ghz with everything else still on auto and this time temps hit 70c and voltage breaking 1.3 with the CPU fan spinning around 800rpm. I swapped out the H5 for the H7 that handled my OC i5-7600k with ease at 4.8ghz. I had the exact same temps with the CPU fan at the same speed even after gaming for 20 minutes. Placed the H5 back on the 8600k.
This time I went into BIOS, set the voltage to 1.23, set AVX offeset to 3, ran Cinebench as a warm up and then gamed for 30 minutes with the H5 cooler. Temps hit 60c with the CPU running under 800rpm. Swapped out the coolers again and this time placed a 140mm fan up top instead of a 120mm since I had more room with the H7. Temps stayed exactly the same with the CPU fan running under 800rpm.
The point of all this? I have read a lot of posts with people stating the Cryorig H7 can't handle an OC 8600k and while I know the H5 offers 3-5c better cooling at 100% fan rpm you can still make a rather impressive OC on the 8600k with a smaller cooler like the H7. As long as your office doesn't have rain jungle temps or you run Prime95 all day long.
A tube of Noctua NT-H1 was sacrificed for this experiment. On a side note, why is there a red head staring at you on the back of the package?
