Swiftech H240X2 and new i9 CPUs

[eco_bach]

Upgrading to the new Intel i9 7960x CPU.
Currently have a Swiftech H240X2 cooler.

As long as I don't go crazy with OC'ing, will this be sufficient?

 

[Mr.Scott]

Yes.

^Seconded.

Thanks!

And if you want lower temps, just add a 280 rad, as the H240X is more like a custom loop than a conventional AIO.

I used to run mine with an extra 280 and an extra 140 and a GPU block (downsized to an extra 280 only, due to lazyness when rebuilding with new GPU/MoBo, lol!).

OP, update

After reading THIS on gamersnexus am reconsidering the TR over the 7960
https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/3066-intel-i9-7980xe-7960x-thermals-power-review


Can I use the Swiftech with the TR?

It's the only CPU cooler I've come across so far that marrys wiht my Enthoo Luxe case perfectly. None of the EKWEB solutions will work.

I am not sure they have mounting kit for the CPU block. Need to ask them.

Not sure if this is what I need?
