max tdp for iCUE H100x RGB ELITE Liquid CPU Cooler

[Snowwolfboi]

hi i was wondering since corsair dont specify the max tdp on their iCUE H100x RGB ELITE Liquid CPU Cooler i wanted to know if some of you on LTT forum did know the max tdp on the specific aio and tell me is it overkill for my system running windows 10 on an intel i7-6700k 4 cores 8 threads clocked 4.2ghz at max

Totally and also silly to buy a cooler that is like over half the price of getting you a twice as good cpu in the pc

 

A thermalright peerless assassin 120 is already overkill but well its 35$ and performs better than the h100x.

My little brother is running an overclocked 6700K (i overclocked it myself) with a pure rock slim 2 i had in one my my first PCs, still well under critical temp, you could probably buy a £15-20 cooler and cool the 6700K, really dont need an AIO at all

Because its not a useful stat to mention for coolers. TDP alone doesn't tell the whole story. 

 

You can cool a 6700k with a $20-30 air cooler though, don't waste your money.
