8700k cooling

[Jeremy Dijkstra]

If i overclock the 8700k tot 4.5 Ghz, isthe CoolerMaster TX3I good enough then?

[WkdPaul]

Not sure what you mean by "overclock to 4.5Ghz" since the 8700k turbos to 4.7Ghz by itself ...

[Shimejii]

You should not be buying an expensive CPU and throwing cheap shit cooling at it. 

 

but no i do not recommend that cooler for a 8700k, its not meant for it.

[DocSwag]

That's not really much of an OC as the multi core turbo is already 4.4. Honestly though just grab something better like an H7

honestly, just buy a 8600k and and a H60+ for upgradability

That cooler would be very low end even if it had proper mounting system instead of those crappy plastic push pins.

Coolermaster's 212 and especially Cryorig H7 are lot better for budget.

Upgradeability and Intel in same sentence?

What ever mushrooms you're eating, stop doing it, those are likely toxic.

Intel makes us buy new motherboards just for cosmetic respin of old CPU.

 

And such tiny toy water hype cooler makes sense only:

1: If not being able to fit proper size cooler on motherboard.

2: Or wanting weight mounted on case instead of mobo because of frequent moving of PC.

Water pipes in place of heat pipes don't make heat magically disappear and it still needs to be dissipated into air.

And such tiny slim radiator no doubt has less surface area than most better heat pipe coolers.

Meaning need for high speed fan for good cooling, while there's already pump as additional noise source over heat pipe cooler.

 

There are certainly many cheaper and more effective at cooling per noise heat pipe coolers.

Which also avoid numerous degrading/wear/failure ways of water pipe coolers.

For example that Alu radiator is galvanic corrosion risk with copper block in long term.

The 8700K has a stock speed of 3.7 GHz and a turbo boost of 4.7 GHz so I'm a bit confused with your claim.

This cooler is not adequate for your CPU ("overclocked" or not). Some alternatives:

Noctua NH-D15 (best cooling): https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608045
Dark Rock Pro 3: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=13C-001F-00002
Scythe FUMA (best value): https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=13C-0004-00074
Cryorig R1 Ultimate: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=13C-000U-00002

thx man. will the noctuna NH-D15 keep my cpu under 80 degrees then?

Definitely. With this one you’ll even be able to overclock it to 5 GHz (assuming that the silicon lottery is in your favour of course). :-D
