Is the H100i enough for the 9700k?

I'm building a new PC and wondering whether I should go for the H100i Pro or the H115i Pro. The H100i is obviously the cheaper option, but I'm worried that it won't be enough cooling for the i7-9700k. 

 

Some clarity would be appreciated.

I personally use the old version of the H100i on an i7-6700k.

It runs like a champ even while overclocked and under full load, my temps don't go above the 70 C

 

I'd say the H100i is going to perform with no problems, even while overclocked.

Enough? yes...

 

Still wouldn't recommend it though as price to performance air coolers are king.

Why did you make 2 posts with completely different coolers?

I'm using the H115i with a 8700K overclocked to 5.0 ghz, and it runs pretty good. Temps in the high 60's low 70's usually. Can hit high 70's if I load all my cores to max, but I'm generally not pushing my CPU that hard. Using LL fans instead of the included ML fans so don't know if that's affecting performance at all but I doubt it should be much.
