It's my initial experience setting up a PC, and I'm considering future overclocking of my i7 9700k. Will the CORSAIR HYDRO Series H115i PRO AIO Liquid be sufficient for reaching 5ghz?

Is the H115i (280mm radiator) sufficient to push the 9700k up to 5ghz?
Thank you.

Yes, the H115i should handle the overclocking of the i7-9700k to 5ghz.
Under full load with Prime95 version 26.6 small FFT test, the temperatures will be around 75–80°C, which is normal and not concerning.
In real-world use, you'd rarely hit such high loads, so the actual temps won't be as extreme as they appear in stress tests.
From my own experience, I've used the same AIO liquid cooler and case before.
Visually, the H115i looks great.
Performance-wise, it's a bit on the lower side compared to other options.

Sure, it can manage that range.

I own a 9700k and a Corsair h115i. It really performs well in cooling my CPU at 5Ghz, maintaining temperatures around the 50s during load. After upgrading to 5.1, it stays under 70 with highs in the 60s. I'm considering moving to 5.2.
