Apropriate cooling?

[CbrosTheDude]

Planning to cool a i5 8600k with a bequiet! pure rock slim bk008.

How realistic is it? Will I hav eto upgrade when OCing comes in? (justifying the 'k')

probably upgrade when OC is in the equation if you are going for heavy boosts. This cooler has a TDP of 120W, and the CPU has a 95W, so you wont get too far

You should be able to pull small overclocks fine with it, however if your looking for something a bit more, you should look at getting something else.

What are your limitations?  Cost?  Space?

mostly going for something cheap, guessing it sould do a good job by the look. I could go bigger or more expensive later, now just to run the thing

I also want to add that, just because the cooler has a TDP leeway of 120W doesn't mean you'll get great temperatures when you overclock it to 120W worth of power. It just means you'll be in safe temperatures.

 

I've got a Custom Loop Radiator TDP rating of 3,500 watts before reaching good temperatures. Running it with 2x280mm @1600W TDP wasn't getting great temperatures, was hitting 60C. But with 3500W TDP I can't go higher than 40C after maxing out for 2 hours. This is on a ~300W PC Max Load.

i come from laptop where getting 90C is where you begin to wear earplugs and worry at 100C because it shuts of
