is the kraken x31 enough cooling to do a mild overclock on a 5820k?

[heyarch]

Building a new pc and was wondering if the x31 is enough. I don't mind using an h60 if thats the better option but I would like to stay at a 120mm radiator. If I have to go up I would probably go with the x41 or the h90.

'Enough' for ?

To be thorough, you kind of need to understand what your CPU overclock will be and the TDP of the chip with additional speed and voltage applied. This then needs to be evaluated against the potential max TDP the cooler can dissipate.

In short - probably so.
