overclock i5 8600k

[icon_of_sin]

I am plannong on makeing a new pc with a i5 8600k

what sort of cooler will i need to get it overclocked to 4.9ghz?
when looking for a cooler how will i know if its good enough

i dont want to go as fara liquid cooling

what? it's perfect for over clocking a 8600K why spend loads of money on fancy stuff when a Artic Freezer cooling does the job well and doesn't cost much.

And that would be true if an 8600K ran at the temperatures you 2500K does. But it doesn't. 2500Ks are a very cold CPU. 8600Ks are some of the hottest on the mass market. You need more cooling power.

And 8600K and 8700K will go well above their stock rated TDP when OC'ed also.

Absolutely. They're a totally different animal to the older Quadcore Ks. Just spreading the 4.7 GHz boost clock across all six cores will turn up the heat. And will work a midsize cooler very hard.

I hate to disappoint you, but server CPUs not intended to be overclocked. Even by BCLK. More than that, no Supermicro/Tyan/etc motherboards which I have seen have any overclocking abilities. Server chipsets do not support them. It's fairly easy to remember, right?

Of course they aren't intended to. But it doesn't mean it isn't possible.
If someone is crazy enough, they will do it. *coughLinuscough*

You can overclock Xeons.

Do you really believe in that? You should learn your IT course better.

My IT classes was 1998-2002.

Also delidding is not stupid and funny you relate it to longetivity because you probably will have longer lifespan with an properly delidded cpu. Reduced temps would be no 1 reason to that.

My first degree was in physical chemistry. If you'd say something like this quoted statement to our professors, next day you'd ceased to be a student and will be able to search for a work as a janitor...

Lower temperature will be better for electron migration regardless of what irrelevant knowledge you have.

It's true tho. They can be overclocked. Just not by using multiplier. But the Base Clock (BCLK) overclocking does work.

TechYesCity overclock old Xeons all the time.

No CPU is ever designed to be overclocked (unless you think "Let's allow it!" count.) In the case of lots of headroom the CPU will instead be "designed" (rather used for) lower power consumption and less heat dissipation. Well. Between TIM and solder between die and heatspreader it could be one reason to make that decision. The point is it make no sense to let performance sit unused except if the reason is to keep power draw & heat down and longevity up. There's nothing to design different though. Just decide how far you're willing to go.

3 heatpipes? That is a joke of a cooler, not meant for OC'ing period...
In that case, why not a Hyper212.... jeez

Stick to ones that have 6 or 8 heatpipes if you going to OC an i5 or i7

I don't know what 130 watt TDP for the cooler mean for the chip and temperature vs case but the i7 8700K can likely draw over 130 watt stock with an AVX load.

^ Not a fact.

If unlocked CPU's weren't designed to be overlocked, we would still be overlocking via the base clock and Intel Turbo Boost wouldn't be a thing on any CPU.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Turbo boost and Precision Boost and XFR are there because when running single-core tasks or having loads which don't utilize the whole core there exist additional power and temperature head-room.

As for "designed to be overclocked" no chip is designed to be over-clocked or not designed for it. They are just chips.
There's no difference in design of an i7 8700K and an i7 8700. The K hasn't "been designed for overclocking!" The design is the same except for marketing reasons one allow you to change the multiplier and the other doesn't and they charge more for the one where you can do so because they can.
If you use things like turbo boost, precision boost or extended frequency range or with a chip with just one core clocked it higher to it's full potential like say my Phenom X4 9850 which isn't a great overclocker that doesn't mean you "didn't design them to not overclock" it's still just a chip there's just less gains to be had from overclocking. If you left more headroom for whatever reason say because it was designed for lower peak powerconsumption like the low power models from Intel or the Ryzen 7 1700 then you can overclock more but that's not because "it was designed for overclocking."

... I was typing this on the PC before but then I clearly went away ~7 hours ago or whatever.
I don't know if I had covered what I wanted to say but it kinda looks like it.
