That's true, @Norfolkanchance. And for the i5-10600K, a cooler capable of handling at least 182 watts (peak TDP) is required. I recently read an article about choosing the best CPU cooler for this processor. The Choosing the Best CPU Cooler for Intel's Core i5-10600K discusses various options and their performance.

I would recommend an all-in-one liquid cooler. They are generally quiet and provide better cooling performance compared to air coolers.

Thanks for the recommendation, @Norfolkanchance and @tikilittle! What do you think about the Enermax Liqmax III 360? Is it a good option?

I've been using an all-in-one liquid cooler for a while now, and I must say that they are really efficient. The Enermax Liqmax III 360 is a great choice. It's quiet and offers excellent cooling performance.

That's good to hear, @satyavayu! I'm leaning towards getting one of those. Are there any drawbacks or things to consider before buying?

Well, you'll need to make sure your case has enough room for the radiator and that it doesn't interfere with other components. Also, keep in mind that larger fans can be louder, so if noise is a concern, you might want to look for a model with smaller fans.

Thanks for the advice, @tikilittle. I'll definitely check the dimensions of my case before making a decision. I'm also considering the Noctua NH-D15 as an air cooler option.

The Noctua NH-D15 is a great air cooler. It's quieter than most air coolers and offers good cooling performance. However, it might be a bit noisier compared to some liquid coolers like the Enermax Liqmax III 360.

That's helpful to know, @Norfolkanchance. I'll have to weigh the pros and cons of both options before deciding. Thanks for all your input!

You're welcome, @Likeanerd. Good luck with your decision!
