Hi Filipmunk,
In theory, to dissipate 100W you need 120mm of rad. Here you have 240mm so you can handle up to 200W while keeping temperatures in normal range.
The 8600k model typically reaches about 180W during extreme overclocking.
Personally, I think you're set with the cooler properly configured.
After that, the timing between the die and IHS becomes important, but again, the results will come from testing.

There are evaluations featuring overclocked CPUs

Hi Filipmunk,
In theory, to dissipate 100W you need 120mm of rad. Here you have 240mm so you can dissipate up to 200w while keeping temperatures normal.
The 8600k consumes about 180W maximum during extreme overclocking.
So IMO, you're in good shape with that cooler properly set up.
After that, it depends on the timing between the die and IHS.
But, as always, the experiment will show the results.
Ty, in the videos I've seen it should be a perfect cooler for the i5 8600k, so I was just wondering if anyone has any experience.
Hey there, I saw you're curious about your build. I've got a similar configuration to yours, so I'm just checking how things are running. When idle or browsing, I'm seeing around 28-35°C. During games like pubg, it's hitting 45-55°C. Just wanted to confirm if that's within normal ranges.
Hey there, how did your build turn out if you don’t mind me asking?
I’ve set up pretty much the same thing as yours. I’m just curious about your CPU temperature.
When idle or browsing, I’m at 28-35°C.
For games like pubg, it’s around 45-55°C.
Just checking if that’s normal?
Also, I chose not to buy this because my 120 mm water system is more than enough for my i5 8600k at 4.7 GHz and 1.270 volts.
But I might consider the Arctic Liquid Freezer 240 mm since it’s almost the same price and performs better.

Any idea if that’s normal?
Also, I’ve decided not to go ahead with this purchase because my 120 mm water system is more than enough for my i5 8600k at 4.7 GHz and 1.270 volts.
But I might consider the Arctic Liquid Freezer 240 mm since it’s similar in price and offers better performance.
Filipmunk asked about the CPU temperature setup. He mentioned similar configurations and shared his idle and gaming temperatures. He decided against purchasing a new system due to existing equipment but considered buying an Arctic Liquid Freezer 240 mm for better performance.
Filipmunk asked about the CPU temperature experience. He shared his own readings and compared them to others, mentioning different temperatures during idle and gaming. He also discussed his decision not to purchase a new system due to existing hardware capabilities.
