i9 and h60

[Cavamiva]

I recently bought a PC that has an i9-9900K and corsair H60 as cooler, I'm scared that the cooler wont be able to keep the CPU cool, I wont be overclocking my CPU and any tips/information is appreciated.

Test it?

I don't have it yet, its coming in 1 to 2 weeks since its custom built, I'm just asking incase it isnt good enough, then I can either adjust CPU or buy a new cooler before PC gets here, because I don't want to wait even longer.

Did you choose the H60 or was there no choice? 

 

Anyway it might be fine at stock? Depends on if the motherboard runns it at stock or not though

Should be okay at stock I think? really cannot be sure until it's tested, but you can definitely get the PC running and probably playing games comfortably, but I don't know how it would fare under heavy workloads, so you will have time to buy a new cooler if the H60 is not enough

here's a program to check temps and everything for when you get the PC

I appreciate the help. I wont be doing much things thats too heavy, i always play games and change settings to low because it feels smoother for me so hopefully it works, ill test it with the program when it comes :)

Didnt really get to choose. The site where i bought it from was sold out on the higher tiered coolers and i needed to get it soon since my dad was willing to pay for it if it was quickly bought. Also if the motherboard doesnt run it on stock, is there a way to change it

putting less stress on the GPU means more stress on the CPU, but it depends on the FPS ofc, because the more FPS you have, the more CPU usage you'll get

so, i should let my gpu do more work to even things out? i have a 2080 so pretty sure it can handle it, as for fps i always limit the fps to 160 as its just above my refresh rate

160FPS might stress your CPU more than you think, but again that's assuming the H60 can't handle the 9900K at full power, but I actually do not know, so when you get it, stress it with AIDA64 or something similar and check temps, and you can keep HWinfo in the background while you play games and you can check the maximum temp recorded.

just a little update on the situation, i got my pc yestrerday and have been playing all my games at 4.7 GHZ with an avg temp of 45C and max temp of 65C, IDK if i got some golden chip but jeez its running MUCH better than i had hoped

Glad to hear it worked out enjoy your new PC
