Question Help!

Is Corsair Hydro CW-9060028-WW All-in-One Liquid CPU Cooler (Black) going to allow for the over clocking of i5 9600k?
Please and thank you.

Just because it's a watercooler , doesn't mean its better than an air cooler. Certainly not in that price bracket... it has never been.

but yes it fits in almost everything and cools okay.

So can I over clock?

A small iao is not designed for overclocking. Water cooling is not a magic bullet and small watercoolers like the above actually would get outperformed by a quality air cooler. Liquid coolers also have many drawbacks. I wouldnt overclock that cpu using that cooler. I would buy a dark rock pro4 or 240 mm aio.

You might get a small overclock at reasonable temperatures but definitely won’t be able to push the overclocking too hard.

Is the antec kuhler h20 good enough then for over clocking? It has 2 120mm fans.
