[SOLVED] Sufficient for 13600K?

[12pak]

I have a new Intel i5-13600k on the way and I also ordered a MSI MAG CoreLiquid C240 - AIO. But after reading some articles about the heat generation of these Raptor Lake cpus, I am now wondering if I went to small on the cooler. Has anyone tried one of these model coolers on a 13600K yet that can comment on the temps? I checked around online for some benchmarks but I can't find any using this cooler and cpu combo.

Do not use that AIO. It has had many issues, and there have been recalls on it, that MSI still hasn't gotten right.

A solid air cooler, like the Deepcool AK620 is plenty for a 13600k. If you want an AIO, and it has to be 240mm, I would go with this one.

I was already aware of that issue with that model line. I've seen tests of the new line, which is what I ordered and so far they aren't showing signs of the same problem. What I am looking for temps using the C240 on a 13600k. I can't seem to find any benchmarks yet since Raptor lakes are so new. Didn't know if anyone here had actually tried it yet that could speak to their experience with the combo.

Do not get that cooler it's not very reliable. I would get a 360mm AIO if you can fit it.

What 360mm AIO that is compatible with LGA1700 socket out of the box would you recommend? I'm getting an Adata XPG Battlecruiser case. It claims to have room for a 360mm cooler in the top.

Are you locked into liquid cooling of some type?

For some reason other than cooling performance?

I'm not 100% on which coolers come with the LGA1700 mounting brackets bundled with the cooler. However it seems the Asus Strix LC 360 should come bundled with it:

[Motherboard] ASUS AIO cooler support for 12th gen Intel Alder Lake processors (LGA 1700) | Official Support | ASUS Global

.

I believe a number of manufacturers should ship with the brackets now but I still see people that don't have them included.
