I'm planning on getting a Noctua L9i and a i5 8600k. I do plan on replacing the slim fans that the Noctua L9i comes with a standard thickness Noctua fan. How much of an OC would the cooler be able to handle?

Well, assuming the case you put it in has adequate airflow, I'd say no overclock unless you undervolt.

Your CPU is 95w TDP, the cooler is designed for CPUs with a TDP of 65w or less.
If your CPU were to run at 100%, the cooler would be insufficient.
