Heya,

 

Yeah should be fine for cooling. The temps should be reasonable and if you wanna liquid cool it later down the line. You might be able to squeeze a bit more performance out of it.

I will be buying the new 4770K and I already use a Noctua NH-U12P SE2 for my current CPU and my question is: Will this cooler be enough for the new intel CPU (Gaming like crazy!)? Will I be able to overclock it with this cooler? I will buy water cooling in the future but i wanted to know this in order to Overclock it or not, or event not buy it until I get water cooling. (We are not counting other things such as the case or other fans, just this one mentioned)

I have the same exact cooler in my system and I think it will be more than enough for a mild overclock. It really performs good while being silent :)

Ya it will be fine and you could do a decent OC depending on how good your chip is.
