[SOLVED] Need Help Deciding how much cooling my system will need!

[Benjioli]

Hey! I am building a higher end PC which I haven't done before and don't really know how much I should be cooling my system. I am going to be using the following in my PC
-RTX 2080
-i7-9700k
-212 Hyper Evo (CPU Fan)
-8 GB of HyperX DDR4 (Might go up to 16)
-750 W Power Supply
-1 TB Samsung 860 Evo 2.5" SSD
-MSI Z390 A-Pro ATX
-NZXT H500 mid tower (Including this just to show the fans that come with this are the only fans I have in total right now)
I was wondering how much cooling this would need and how much it would need if I decided to overclock my system as well. Thanks y'all

you'll need a bigger CPU cooler. A pair of 120's into the case at the front and one exhaust at the back should create enough flow.

On other topics.
Get 16GB now, mixing sets of ram often doesn't work, so you'd need to sell your 8 and buy 16, getting 16 now is better.
What PSU are you getting?

I was planning on using my EVGA 700 B1 (I know I said 750 in my post because I thought it was but I guess it was only 700)

But I could easily buy a new one if I need to. Also, do you have any suggestions on fans that should get specifically? Any that have been working well for you?

OK, so it's a reasonable PSU, that's fine, it's plenty big enough. Consider a 2070 super, unless you get a 2080 on a decent offer.

Okay thanks! Do you think the 700w will still be plenty if I overclock?

maybe, I've got a niggle in the back of my mind about the b1's, if it is actually a good PSU and not just an OK PSU then yes you'll be fine. Oddly possibly less fine with the 2070 super as it is more unlocked from a power perspective.

Do you think the V8 GTS will work for the CPU fan?

The B2 750/850 was a very good psu, the B3 right back to blah. The B1's are the 500/600/700B, basically a half step up from the W, which is a half step up from the N models at the very bottom shelf, in the basement.

IMO not enough, first review has it being a bit better than a NH12.

The key is to not think of it as a 95W processor, think of it as 130+ so to get more than just 'adequate' cooling you need maybe 50W above that.

Big Cryorig's are good. The v8 might be big enough, but it may just run warm.

The 9700k is 95w TDP. That's the average of a series of apps at factory base speeds and settings. It's not full core, turbo settings which can hit 130w. The hyper212 is 140w, so expect temps beyond 80, closer to 90°C with such a small cooler. You can't over-cool a cpu, so higher capacity is always better, the individual efficiency dictating which cooler is better.

You should be looking in the 180w+ range, not the budget 140w range. Cryorig H5/R1, Noctua NH-D14/15/15S, beQuiet Darkrock Pro 3/4/TF (I like the TF personally) etc.
