i7 8700k coolermaster 212 evo?

[Diego_28]

so at the moment i´m rocking an i5 6500 with the coolermaster 212 evo but im planning to upgrade to an i7 8700k, can the 212 do the job of keeping it cool at stock speed? at least for a while, later im going to change the 212 for an noctua nh-d15(not a big fan of water cooling), once i get the noctua i would be able to overclock to 4.8 ghz at least?

Yes, it will keep you from overheating. You could reasonably expect 4.8GHz from the NH-D15.

The Evo will keep it cool, but don't expect much overclocking capability because the 8700k produces a lot of heat for that cooler to handle

it is provisional, of course i would not oc with the evo 212 just stock until i get the money for a noctua, but until i get the money im going to be ok with the 212 for gaming at stock?

Btw I am also doing the same thing you are and my hyper evo 212 is keeping it cool enough at stock speeds for a couple months now. Ive got a Evga clc 280m on the way now tho 😀

At some point, you could even think of getting cryorig cooler for another 15$? Much better
