The title gives all the details,
I have an i5-7600k with a max of 4.8GHZ, aiming for 5.0GHZ. Will the H55 or H60 keep up without overheating? Or is it worth it?
70-85 euros in my country.

A superior air unit like a top-tier Noctua, Be Quiet Dark Rock 3 (or Pro) or Cryorig R1 would be a better option compared to that 212. For AIOs, I wouldn't consider it unless you're prepared to spend at least $100 on a high-quality 240/280mm unit and even some coolers like the Noctua NH-D15 cool, which are just as effective.

Consider opting for a premium air unit. Which one should you choose? And at what point is switching to liquid beneficial?
