I'm setting up a custom PC with an i7-6700 and a 980ti. I don't plan to overclock, just use it as a gamer. I'm curious if a 120mm CPU water cooler is sufficient.

As long as it's a decent one, it will be perfect.

based on the temperature conditions, even standard coolers might not be safe at high clock speeds. However, most people would suggest opting for a quality aftermarket solution.
