I won’t be overclocking anything. The main purpose is video editing and gaming. I’m considering picking up Lian Li Galahad 240mm with the i5 13600K. Is it good enough?

**I don’t know what flair to pick sorry**

      the peerless spirit is not sufficient at all. Do not listen to people recommending it. I tested it myself.

      I’m currently using Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE, its about in line with a NH-D15 and costs about $36 on Amazon. Currently using it in an itx build with a 13700K. The non-SE is just as good but more for a sleek look without the 7 heatpipes sticking out.

      I highly highly heavily recommend a phantom spirit 120, it’s one of the best for dirt cheap and looks quite nice too. I have used this cooler on a 12900k, 13700k, and 7800x3d with no issues.

      I’m using a Deepcool AK500 with my 13600K and it works great. Imo there’s no need for an AIO on an i5.

      I fixed my 9 yr old NH-D14 on it and it handles it just fine (no overclocking).
