[SOLVED] Noctua NH-U12S on a i7-8700K 3,7 GHz (Coffee Lake)?

[Iscelais]

Hey all!

I'm currently assembling my parts for my PC's rebuild and thus also wanted to invest in a new cooler.

I decided to go with the Noctua NH-U12S in chromax black because of Noctua's overall good reputation and I like the stealthy look. ( Especially with covers. )

I was wondering if the cooling will be sufficient for this CPU?

Mind you, I do not overclock and my case also has 3 additional fans in the front and 1 for the exhaust.

It should be fine.

It'll handle that CPU fine. Here's a review with that CPU. While it is for the Scythe Ninja 5. You can see the NH-U12S in the charts.
