Hey y’all. Recently got a 12900k and was just wondering how important it is to upgrade my AIO to something bigger. Just trying to avoid “cooking it” overnight.

    yes, 120mm aio is pretty much the same as an dual tower air cooler. I used an 120mm aio on both an 12700k and 12900k as I only had one 360 aio so one of those had to use the 120 aio and it was doing okey job.

    I see that people are trying to scare u off, if you have the 120mm aio just use it. it will be more than okey for 99% of your usecase/workload. just as bigger aios and big aircoolers it will be super hot when U load all the cores up like in an tile based renderer but for gaming and desktop use, no probs at all.
