Hello,

I'm planning on using an ATC800 with an I7-14700K processor. I just wanted to know, since I'm not planning on overclocking, maybe in the future only doing some fine tuning, as a cooler is it sufficient enough and is it good for tasks such as gaming and in general playing triple A games?

Thanks in advance

The review of that cooler is with something that has much lower TDP's than when Intel decided to go South and pump power into their processors. I wouldn't invest on that cooler from Gigabyte, unless that was the last cooler on Earth. Spend once and then get on with your tasks. You're going to spend more in the long run if you keep swapping parts out.

And I don't have any coolers in my disposal, I'm asking for a build I wanted to make
I meant what sort of coolers you have access to on your store shelves. Parts availability and pricing will vary with regards to location, which is why I as asking where you're located.
You might want to read through this.

What other coolers do you have at your disposal? If you're suffering from an overheating issue, that could be due to a couple of factors, one of which would be a badly ventilated case.

Might want to list your full system's specs, your location, your budget for a cooler and preferred site for purchase if you're not located in the USA(which is where this site is based in).

I saw the post long ago, but I also also saw much more positive posts as well, which is why I wanted to ask if anyone had a good experience with it or knows its good? I've seen great benchmarks and not so good benchmarks for it but I'm assuming since i wont be overclocking any time soon it will suffice and in the future when I'm ready to overclock I get get an AIO.

Hello,

I have taken your advice and went along with a AIO. Specifically, the CM 360 ATMOS. And it works great!

sorry for the late response, and thank you so much for responding and taking the time out of your day to do so :)
