CPU cooler specs

[Atreyo Bhattacharjee]

Why don't manufacturers state the max TDP their coolers can handle in the specs?

Some do, others dont.
Its one less spec they have to list that someone might have an issue with.

"I have your cooler rated for xTDP but im under that and its overheating" Could be airflow, application, etc.

What cooler were you looking at?

I was trying to find the max TDP for a Hyper 212x with dual 120mm fans. Thank you.

While I dont know the exact TDP for that unit, it should be enough for most processors (excluding some of the ridiculous models)
Do you have a processor in mind as well?

I was hoping to be able to OC a Ryzen 1700 to about 4.00+ GHz.

You shouldnt have an issue with the Ryzen series, that processor is a mere 65w.

Thanks! Really appreciate it.
