CoolMaster 212RGB Handle a 12600K ?

[AP514]

So wondering if this Coolmaster 212 RGB has enough headroom to keep a I5-12600K Cool.
The CPU TDP is 125w... CoolMaster 212RGB can handle 150w TDP...

Is 25w Extra Enough headroom ??

probably be fine at stock speeds for normal use and gaming but maybe not rendering or any long sustained loads.
edit: not many sites testing it but one said low 70s during a cinebench run.

What pendragon1 said.

12600k makes quite a bit of heat, so 212 has just barely enough cooling. That's assuming case airflow is good so cooler is receiving air within a couple degrees of room ambient .. and because it will be working hard if CPU is working fan speed will be pretty high making quite a bit of noise.

TRUE Spirit 120 Rev.B Plus on sale for $29.25, reduced from $41.80. It's L120 mm x W48 mm x H157 mm w/o fans so compact and better cooling than 212. If you like it get it now because this price won't last long.

I was wondering what the TDP was on it ? you have a Link For the TDP for the cooler you listed ?

I found the TDP on that listing....TDP 160 not bad.. but not worth changing from the RGB 212 (TDP 150)..the Case haas great Flow so no issues there besides I already purchased the 212 and am very happy with it.
