I just placed my order for the Z370 motherboard with the ASRock Extreme. I’m thinking about getting the 8700k later but noticed it tends to get quite hot. To avoid overheating, I wanted some advice before deciding on a cooler. I’m aiming to keep temperatures under control and plan to overclock if possible. I’ve been checking these options that fit my budget:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Scythe-Scmg-500...dpSrc=srch
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Be-Quiet-BK019-...dpSrc=srch
Which one would be most effective for temperature management? And could any of these coolers handle a moderate overclock?
