[Christopher Magnussen]

does the zalman cnps20x handle the heat-load of an i9 13900k and 14900k
link: https://www.zalman.com/EN/Product/ProductDetail.do?productSeq=323

it says it has a TDP capacity of 300 W while the i9 14900k has a TDP of 253W.

just wondering

I honestly doubt it, however those chips are good something up near if not 100C and will throttle if it needs to.

As long as you run it power limited to 253W then it should be fine, but it may require high fan speed.

Most mobos completely ignore that limit and try to run the cpu with as much power as possible, which is why you get answers like above.
If the cooler can really cool for 300W then you will be fine, in the worst case you might have to go into bios and change some stuff.
