thank you very much for your reply, happy to know that its fine, i wasnt planning on OC anywaysThe Corsair H60 is fine. If you don't OC, it is even more than needed, actually. If you do OC, then the H60 will also be fine, but you may not get your best OC before you reach a thermal roadblock.
thanks for your reply, yes thats what i recently kind of found out, but clutchc's reply said it was fine, could it still work well from your perspective?The H60 is really made for non overclocking and more mid end CPUs. I would never have bought the H60 for a top end mainstream CPU. You would be much better off with the H100 or better or a top end air cooler.
I was initially using the Corsair H60 liquid cooler for my testing rig. It’s done a fine job previously, whether it was cooling the Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD’s Ryzen 7 2700X. Boot up the rig with the i9-9900K installed though, and the Corsair H60 is helpless in preventing a system crash.
So what are your suggestions? Should i just replace the cooler immediately when my pc comes in or is there a setting i can change that can make it run with less ghz or something like that (dont know much about this)https://www.trustedreviews.com/reviews/intel-core-i9-9900k
While it may work "fine" I wouldn't trust it to do the job well enough to keep you in the safe zone.
appreciate the reply, ill see how it goesThe i9-9900K is only a 95W CPU at stock clocks. If the OP doesn't plan on OC'ing, the H60 is more than he needs. My old 125W FX-8350 furnace was cooled by a Corsair H60 running at 4.7GHz. The 8350 had to be hitting 140W+ at that clock.
thanks for the suggestions, ill see how it goes and if it doesnt go well i will take your adviceYou could downclock the CPU or set the fan to run at a higher speed. However I would move to a higher end cooler. You don't want to "cripple" the CPU due to a lower end cooling issue.

Just a quick little update, I don't know if im extremely lucky but got my pc yesterday and have been playing all of my games at 4.7 GHZ at 45C .... I must have gotten some golden chip or something :3I don't disagree however one review that used a H60 had problems keeping it from crashing at stock settings. While he may not experience it I doubt the H60 would be able to keep it cool enough to maintain any of the boost levels. I saw another review where the H60 was barely keeping a 4.6GHz 8700K at 85c so I imagine two more cores and a CPU that uses quite a bit more power would be even harder and will either not stay stable or stay at lower clock speeds.
Ive got a RTX 2080Lucked out there, but at 20% load. What kind of GPU do you have? Max temps was 65 ish...
which if you had paired it with a capable GPU would be more the readings you would be looking at.

Rated TDP is only guaranteed at the base frequency, and I doubt anyone buys a 9900K to run it at 3.6 GHz. TDP goes out the window once the CPU starts turbo-ing, and can vary from one motherboard to the next. But a 'stock' 9900K can draw 200+ W in stress tests.The i9-9900K is only a 95W CPU at stock clocks.
Yeah, well your "link" doesn't bare out my years of personal, hands-on experience.
But your experience is with a completely different CPU...Yeah, well your "link" doesn't bare out my years of personal, hands-on experience.
