Can A Hyper 212 EVO Safely Cool a Non-Overclocked Core i7 8700K

[Kavi Dey]

I am hoping to from my core i7 7700k to an 8700k and get a new motherboard, but my budget is to low to get the motherboard I want and an AIO. Will the Hyper 212 EVO I currently have suffice?

 

Note: I am not planning on overclocking until I get water-cooling but I do a lot of heavy duty work in blender so my cpu will be under full load.

it will be fine. you can even overclock, not sure how far you can push it before thermal shutdown

[ItsMitch]

Yeah it should be fine.

No because the i7 8700k is a thermal disaster with its 95w of TDP and crappy toothpaste on the IHS.

 

Reason why I went with the locked i7 8700 which is 65w TDP and runs absurdly more cool while being identical at stock speeds (4.6ghz single thread and 4.3ghz all cores).

according to it's specs the 212 can dissapate 180 watts of power (dunno if this is true in reality) So it's should be fine

[RollinLower]

it should be fine, tough as @Princess Cadence mentioned the 8700K is quite the thermal disaster. so if you feel like putting in the elbow-grease delidding it will help a lot.

especially if you are going to put it on water and overclock it later

Yes my concern is that he does intend to put it under quite the stressing workloads, it isn't just some 'gaming' reason why he should be rather cautious or the chip will go 80C+ without a doubt.

At stock it'll be fine. I didn't find Blender to be that much of a stress compared to Prime95, which might be about the only use case I might think twice about cooling wise.

I am currently using that exact setup (8700k + Hyper 212 EVO) and I can say it cools it well enogh but it dosent turbo to the full 4.7 (sits around 4.2-4.3)

Just set voltage to manual and you'll be fine.

That is the correct turbo at stock settings. The 4.7 turbo is only for 1-2 cores. When more cores are used it drops to 4.2-4.3 as you said. This can easily be fixed by chancing the turbo multiplier in your bios and forcing it at 47x.

 

Just wanted to point out this wasn't an issue with your cooler, but the way the 8700k is setup.

Forgot to mention I was talking about comparing it to MCE where all cores are brought to 4.7 ghz which was resulting in temps which are a bit too high
