Can 240mm aio cool well a 10850k?

[iCoNrant]

I was getting a 10850k, I'm wondering is 240mm aio enough? 

Keeping at stock and boost itself up

For only a CPU at stock speeds a 240 will be more than fine.

I've been running my OC 4690k off of a 240 for years and not had a problem.

At stock, a 240 is sufficient. If it's a good 240mm AIO you can definitely overclock, what cooler are you considering?

far from a bad cooler. I would imagine you can manage a decent overclock, if you aren't in an extremely warm climate, and have good case airflow.

Apart from the fact that I find it strange you are using a Lian Li cooler with anything but a Lian Li case, there should be nothing wrong with that.

 

Good case + good cooler = cool CPU

Oh yeah, I'm not advocating that a PC should have the same cooler and case (after all I have a custom loop, which is as far from standard as you can be).

It's just that I see Lian Li as a premium manufacturer, and so probably wouldn't get their cooler if I didn't have their case. (Not that that it affects compatibility in any way).

I'm going for phanteks P500a in white because 4000d airflow just run out of stock in minutes always. 

I'm thinking of buying their phanteks SK140 fans and what cooler should I be considering lian li or the ekwb aio?

Slight change of topic....

Mostly out of my own curiosity  hope you don't mind. 

 

Any specific reason for why you are choosing an AIO ?

 

About 1 month ago I upgraded my PC with new GPU, case and CPU cooler.

My old setup was a Lian Li O11 Dynamic with Corsair 360mm AIO. 

New setup Be Quiet 500DX with Noctua NH-D15S air-cooler. 

My max temp dropped about 3-4°C (during Cinebench & Prime95 tests) with my new air-cooled setup.
