I have the Asetek 550LC high Performance Liquid Cooling and i'm going to get the i5-6600k. Will the water cooler be able to keep the cpu cool if i overclock? I ask because right now i use my AMD A10-7850k and i dont even overclock but my tubes connected to the radiator get hot. 

 

thx

Under full load I'm getting about 30 to 40 degrees Celsius. 

Those temperatures shouldn't be possible under full load. AMD CPUs have always run a little hotter than Intels. The normal temperatures for an i5-6600k with a H100i GTX (which is better at disipating heat off the CPU better than yours due to a 240mm rad) is 42C idling at 24C. The normal temp. with a budget 5$ air cooler is 52C idling at 28C. There is no possible way you are getting 30-40C under full load unless you read wrong or recorded the second you started benchmarking.

 

And if you really are getting 30-40C under full load on an AMD CPU you're gonna be running max like 35C on i5-6600k which does not seem at all possible.

if they shouldn't be possible then can you show me how to get full load temps?
