Question MasterLiquid ML120L for i7-8700k

[Misin89]

Hi. Does any know if this is adequate for cooling 17-8700k?

Should be good enough for stock and light overclocking,

120mm aios are stupid. Either get a 240mm or a high end air cooler like a noctua

What acidmooer said.
120mm are only really good for 4 core cpus.
Bad idea putting that on an I7.

Thank you all. I will get a 240mm AIO. I checked all the big air coolers at our local market. most of them cover one or two of the ram slots. except CM hyper-612-ver2. this one would fit inside the case without blocking the slots but I am no sure if it can keep the cpu cool enough.

Thanks again 👍

Some air coolers have the option of sliding the front fan upwards to sit on top of the ram - of course, this increases the overall height, and if you're already working with limited cpu cooler clearance...
