I've always wondered and looked into it, but I couldn't find the solution. My motherboard is Z590, ASUS Prime, and I'm using Corsair RAM DDR4 3200 with 16GB. I also have a cooler Noctua U12s. I'm running an i5 11600K OC at 5.0GHz. If that's possible, please let me know. Edit: I already have the parts, they're not too old—about six months.

It mainly comes down to the required v-core and your environment temperature, which varies from others'. Still, I'm okay with it—it's a solid cooler.

Noctua's ranking shows the U12S works well with a 11600K, even when pushed to higher speeds.

I really thought I was getting this kid just for my upcoming Intel setup… its 88W cap was clearly not enough for anything serious…

You seem to already own it, but if it's still in use... well, give it a shot. I'm curious—could be really good or maybe just not worth it. Did you own this model on your 5900X?

I was pointing the original poster to the initial source, indicating it's sufficient, rather than stating it worked on any specific CPU I tested.

Your insights will be more valuable than any technical specs because of the real-world impact on users. I'm not interested in a generic processor—it's about how it performs in practice. You managed to cut X watts per hour, which is impressive, Chris.

I won't cause any damage by trying to hide it. No one understands it better than you after just 10 minutes of trying it.
