Here's the build i plan on doing for slight gaming
Mobo= b360 ds3h
GPU= xfx r9 280x (It's my old card)
ram=8gb ddr4 2400
Processor= i7-8700(non-k)
Cpu Cooler= h55(120mm water)
PSU=750w corsair
My question is; will this cooler be enough to keep my cpu cool while playing games like cs:go.
Nothing will be over clocked
(Also this computer is built inside of an entertainment stand so the cooler can't be air.)
 
Solution
yes, consider it's a 65w tdp rating and some testing shown that max it will draw is about 120w.

and h55 is comparable to a 150w tdp air cooler such as the thermal alright true spirit.

I would say, it should be fine, however, the performance is just on par with hyper 212 evo or cryorig h7, none the less, much better than stock intel cooler.
