I7-8700K Cooling Advice

[Shinzra]

Hello and good afternoon all.

I have a I7-8700k arriving tommorow to replace my current I5-6600K.

I am currently using a Corsair H60 Cooler which I have found to be so far at least for the 6600k, quite good for the price I paid. With the 8700k arriving, will this cooler be ok for non overclock environment or would I need to purchase a upgraded cooler?.

Thank you.

yh, I plan to wait and see how the H60 performs with it first of course, just thought I would ask if anyone has the chip or even the same cooler and tried

Cheers for all the replies, yh will see how it goes, I plan to just keep it stock for a while see how it performs.

Ordered some better case fans as well so hopefully that helps.

Evening all, thought I would offer a update on the cooler and the i7 8700k. So I have had it installed today and granted I have not really done any benchmarks, mostly just the games and every day applications I would use, looking at around 28-30 idle and 50 on load in games. Fairly happy with that so far though this is at stock, will try to overclock at a later stage see how it handles it then.
