I'm trying to purchase an Intel X Series CPU and need to understand my cooling constraints. The CPU will have a single 560mm radiator fully enclosed, with the radiator using push/pull fans. There are eight fans spinning at 1300RPM. I want to know how many cores running at 5GHZ a 560 can support before heat becomes an issue. Please let me know.

Your ability to overclock any processor hinges on the quality of the chip you obtain.
An air cooler differs from liquid cooling because it begins with the surrounding temperature and adjusts accordingly.
The maximum voltage you can handle will define your ceiling.
Which X suffix model are you considering?
Currently, you could achieve 5.3 with an i9-9900K or an i9-10900K.
If cost matters, affordable alternatives can still perform admirably.

Consider what you truly need to ask yourself about running all cores at 5GHz.

In gaming, I think clock speed is more important than core or thread count.

The maximum height you can achieve with a processor depends on how well you manage your chances of obtaining a high-quality chip.
An air cooler differs from an L2 cooling solution because it begins at the ambient temperature and increases from there.
The only factor limiting performance is the voltage level you can handle.
