Would the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler be enough to cool an Intel i7-11700K or 11900K even at maximum overclocking speeds?

@nestlee65 Big no. 11400, sure.
Power efficiency goes out the window if you tinker around with overclocking those 2 chips - you have to go liquid if going that route; 280mm AIO at the minimum, or custom liquid.
Take away the overclocking objective, and then you're looking at:
A)Large single tower. Ex: Thermalright's Le Grand Macho RT.
B)Dual tower. Ex: Noctua NH-D15.
C)280mm AIO.
D)240mm AIO. I would suggest skipping this class. Doesn't have enough going for it compared to the other 3.

It is sufficient. Be aware, at that size, you are more or less stuck with mounting its radiator at the top.Would you say that this is efficient enough:

Will this cool the Intel core i7-11700k or i9-11900k?

Not necessarily a bad thing, but it would affect your chassis choices later on when you feel like changing things up.
