I initially purchased a Cryorig H7 air cooler, but now I understand its power limit is only up to 140 watts. The i5-11600K is rated for 125 watts even before overclocking, so I might need to switch to another cooler. Any recommendations? I don’t want the trouble of water cooling, but if it’s the only option, I’m willing to handle it.
P.S. This is brand new here, sorry in advance!

Hmm? That 125w rating just covers the cpu handling all core loads at BASE clock.
The PL2 rating, which includes those turbo boosts, is still the same 251w as the 11700K and 11900K.
But honestly, no one can give a proper recommendation without understanding what fits in your chassis.
