I bought myself an i5 9600K for 199€ and now I'm wondering if I need a new cooler. Is my Thermalright Macho 120 Rev. A enough for moderate overclocking? I have pretty decent airflow in my case (2x140mm intake and 120mm exhaust).

yeah its fine. is it push pull?

Just push but my exhaust fan is right behind it since my case is pretty compact. 

 

I hope I will be able to overclock to something like 4,8-4,9 Ghz.

Because it's overkill and waste of money when OP already has a cooler. Plus upgraded version of that cooler rivals D15.

^^^^ That's my post ^^^^
