I would do at least 280mm because the noise.
One of my rig is an i5 12600K. Did not undervolt it or anything. My AIO is a MSI Mag Coreliquid 240R V2 and have never seen it thermal throttle even under load medium to high settings in game.
14700KF with silent loop 2 240. And it works. I recommend finding good power limits. For 200W PL1 and PL2 works like a charm.
I have my 13600KF undervolted on an air cooler and most temp I’ve seen it peak is 95 in cinebench, gaming leess than 90, ur fine
Yeah, but I’d just get a large air cooler for reliability.
Very much I have a not-too-crappy aio (corsair h100i capellix xt 240) , oc’ed to 5.3 on P and 4.4 on E, running on silent profile
Never goes above 75 running cinebench
Very cool under gaming
I’ve a friend with a 14700k and a corsair aio 240mm and it works well, but he uses his cpu at Stock, so i can’t say it works if you are going to overlock the cpu.
My artic 240 is enough for my 14700kf, even during cinebench all core load. Albeit with a fairly aggressive undervolt. But even without the undervolt, would still would be fine for games and most real world tasks.
I am using a 240 AIO on a 13700k. It handles it fine. It does get very close to the throttle point during all core bench marks but it in all real world usage it has been fine.
what frequency and power limits?
Same here. 240 on a 13700k. It’s a Corsair H100i, BUT I switched out the fans for phanteks. It used to throttle a bit with the stock Corsair fans if I ran full load for 10 mins, but with the phanteks, it’s free to run full load for as long as I like haha
Yes. Even a good 240 aio can cool a 13900k. Ofcourse only with the power limit. Hardware Canucks made a test about it. Just make sure to install the aftermarket contact frame to slash the temp some more.
Yep I have a 240 Lianli Galahad + 13600kf. Overclocked undervolted never seen temps above 75c. I do run the fan on max though. If your case can fit a 360mm I would do that just for lower fan speeds/noise.
My 280mm works great with my OC, so I’d imagine a 240mm would be plenty for a modest OC.
Yes, unless your other cooling and ambient steps are bonkers.
I’ve got a 240mm Arctic Freezer with a 13600k and I get 55 degrees Celsius above ambient, or 75 degrees. No undervolt or anything.
I have it side-mounted running as an exhaust with one big fan at the front as intake, one small one at the back as another exhaust, with a 1070 sitting at a constant 55 degrees.
Be quiet 360mm is like 90 bucks on Amazon
