Hi, I'm looking forward to get i7 8700K processor with ASRock Z370 Extreme4 motherboard. But I'm little bit confused about the cpu cooler.

I choosed a cooler of Gamdias. The full name of the cooler is "Gamdias CHIONE E1 120 RGB CPU Cooler".

My question is that, will this cooler can handle the i7 8700k at full load at stock speed? I am not thinking of OC for now, but will do in future (If needed so). And if the cooler is bad, than suggest a best cooler for i7 8700k under the price of 70 to 90 USD.

Thanks :)

Can't find too much on it. Looks like it's just a rebadged unit from CoolIT from the looks of it.

I would expect it to perform much the same as all the other budget/cheap 120mm AIO's. Ie, You're probably better off buying a solid air cooler for the money.

Personally, I'd just look to a Cryorig H7.

If you still want the RGB 'bling' though, the Quad Lumi variant is <$60
