Hello! Upgrading your setup for After Effects is a smart move. The i7 6800K has a TDP of 140W, while the i9 9900K offers a lower 95W. Since you're already using the Kraken X41, you can likely manage the i9 9900K with its single-core boost to 5GHz. Just ensure you have adequate cooling—your current setup might need a more robust solution if temperatures rise during intensive rendering. If you're concerned about overheating, consider upgrading to a cooler like the NOCTUA NH-D15 for better performance. Let me know if you need more details!

In short, it's operating at normal pace, shouldn't be an issue.

You might want to avoid a used 120mm AiO for your i9 9900K. It won’t let you reach its full performance. But if you choose the NH-D15, it can run at 5GHz all day.

Opt for a 120mm AIO paired with a 9900K—maybe it's too upbeat. Consider Dark Rock Pro4 or NH-D15 for better results.

It's actually a fairly substantial 140mm radiator, and despite my usual preference against AIOs, it performs similarly to dual tower heatsinks in cooling efficiency, according to the reviews I've seen. However, it tends to be a bit noisy due to the standard fan. If budget isn't a concern, upgrading to an air cooler such as the NH-D15 or Dark Rock Pro 4 would be a smart move, offering better reliability and possibly quieter operation.
