Cooling for the i7 8700k

Hello community,

I´m looking for a new processor but the thing is that I saw the i7 8700k which has base rate 3.7 Ghz up to 4.7 Ghz.

I really don´t know if the corsair H100i is enough for that beast. Which AiO cooler (water) can you suggest me. Maybe a fully watercooling system with tanks and pipes if there´s no other way to cool it.

But it could be really nice if it´s a AiO cooler (water).

Thanks for following answers!

Hello hammn,

 

 

I understand that you are looking for a thermal solution for an Intel ® core i7 8700K.

 

 

The one we recommend is the https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/processors/sb/TS13X_liquid_cooling_thermal_solution.pdf TS13X which is a thermal solution that is liquid cooling. However, if you would like to look for a third-party cooler, it is also possible. You just need to make sure that it dissipates at least 90W and also that it fits the socket. You can try contacting the different vendors for recommendations as well.

 

 

I hope this helps.

 

 

 

Regards,
