Do you think a 14700 (non k) air cooled in a Fractal Ridge would fly?

I'm trying to find a cpu that'll go with a Fractal Ridge air cooled system. Do you think the 14700 (non k) would work out well? this will be a dedicated streaming pc with gpu, 32 gb ram and 850 sff psu.

Ideally I'll be streaming in 2k and 1080p on the cpu and saving in 2k on the gpu. I'm trying to find a beefier cpu that won't melt.

thank you!

You should have no problems with that CPU in that case. If you plan to use the stock CPU cooler, and notice CPU temps higher than preferred, you can always upgrade to a Noctua NH-L12, NH-L9, or other quality low profile cooler. There are quite a few great LP coolers on the market right now.
