is this enough to cool an i7 7700k? null

yes, unless you plan to fully over clock that processor. in which case you should look at a 240mm or larger cooler. a 120mm will have a hard time keeping up depending on how much you overclock etc.

If your CPU isn't overclocked then probably, yes. Intel CPUs do run hotter than AMD CPUs, so double check with Intel on normal operating temps. Under a heavy load on an AMD FX-8250E overclocked to 4.8Ghz, my CPU temp never goes over 47°C. 62°C is the maximum temp for an AMD FX-8250E processor. So I am staying 15°C below maximum normal temperature on a heavy load overclocked 1.3Ghz over factory speed. However, there is another model of this sealed water cooler that has a bigger radiator and dual RGB fans. An i7 7700K runs normally at 100°C (212°F), so I would get the bigger cooler.
