I'm using an i5 13400f with an rx7900xt and 4K gaming is okay. My CPU usage sometimes hits around 50%. I'm considering upgrading to a 13700k. Would my 240AIO be sufficient for cooling?

The 13400F is a decent CPU, the 7900XT works well even at 4K but you’ll still be limited by the GPU in most games because it’s 4K.

Are you sure? I thought increasing the resource allocation lowered the CPU load, but your help was a big plus.

It reduces CPU consumption since your GPU handles fewer frames. Increasing resolution doesn’t significantly affect CPU speed but makes it more challenging to run on the GPU.
