[SOLVED] Will LC-CC 120 be enough for stock i7 10070KF

[ChrisRedfiedl]

Hello everybody,
I would like to know will LC-CC 120 be enough for stock i7 10070KF?
I don't mind having it at max speed if it's going to work without ANY thermal throttling at full load while playing games.

That's a big negative.

^10th gen power tables.

A 120mm hybrid cooler is like the same level as a Cooler Master Hyper 212, I think? And that's designed for up to, but not exactly, 150w of heat.
You're going to have to run this cpu at Power Limit 1 only.

OK,and if I buy this cooler will I be able to overclock it it's max limits:

Two things about that.
1)You're not going to put such a cooler in a 'stuffy' chassis.
Any cooler is only going to be as efficient from what the chassis allows, and hybrid coolers are just as dependent, if not more so than air coolers, on good airflow.
Otherwise, the pump flow is doing the bulk of the cooling, and that alone isn't going to produce amazing results.

2)If you're considering Comet Lake with the intention of 'overclocking the crap out of it', then look to the 10600K for the most 'enjoyable' experience.
The 10-7 and the 10-9 do not have as much OC headroom - the 10-9 having next to none. Intel already pushed the envelope really hard on the last 2; you gain very little practical performance, but a crap-ton of heat.
If you've already seen some 10th gen temperature tests, there's something some of them miss, and that's how highly conservative Intel is with the power limits on these chips.

I plan to put that cooler in this case:

Armis AR5X TG RGB : SilentiumPC

www.silentiumpc.com

It has decent air flow,but it has holes at the top that were made for mounting liquid cooler.

I don't prefer 10600K because it only have 6c/12t,I want something with at least 8c/12t.
I don't expect fantastic OC results,I'm happy with any gain.
I also don't mind having all fans set to max once I overclock it.

Armis AR5X TG RGB : SilentiumPC
According to the user manual concerning radiator compatibility:
Rear: 120mm
Top: 120/240mm
Front: 120/140/240/280/360mm

Tell ya what: If you still want to push a 10-7, a 240mm won't cut it when you get around to stress testing for stability. More reasonable for a 10-6 though.
