Hello! What would be TDP range a cooler should ideally operate for Intel Core i5-14600KF processor within to ensure efficient cooling and stable performance under varying workloads? 

The TDP range of this processor is between 125W and 181W according to the official page. I wonder a safe cooler must be one that supports at least 220W of TDP... Is this correct?

Hello bcrlns,

 

To ensure efficient cooling and stable performance under varying workloads, it's important to choose a cooler that meets or exceeds these requirements. A cooler that supports at least 220W of TDP would provide a safe margin, ensuring that it can handle the processor's heat output even under heavy loads. This would also allow for any additional thermal headroom, which can be beneficial. If you have the option, investing in a high-quality custom cooler is recommended, as it can offer additional features and better performance.

 

Best regards,
