How hard is this i9 to cool?

Are there any air coolers that can handle it or do I have to go the liquid cooler aio route?
I have 10900k and liquid dual fan on radiator setup that cools it and keeps it below 75C degrees...

Picked this up today and got another $25 off the CPU. Fantastic deal. No intentions on keeping the RAM. Undecided on the mobo as I have an MSI Edge Z790 that I picked up for a good price as well (not the $111 I got the Aorus for though). Edge is within return period for another week. Decisions, decisions …

This is a little bit ridiculous because you can sell a 9900K with motherboard and memory over $300 on eBay. like just the CPU is $260. That makes about the most ridiculously low-cost upgrade a person could ask for if you have something to due for an upgrade but not ancient yet

Does this board suffer from the same coil whine as the Aorus boards for AM5?

There are 2 versions of the exact same board; each will only take one or the other. The one in this combo is DDR5, but if you were to ask them to give you a similar deal in-store on the same mobo/RAM in DDR4 I think they would probably accomodate you. They do sell the DDR4 version of the board [microcenter.com] also.

I picked this up today and after asking (and I was clear I have no intent of overclocking or anything special)…..he pointed me towards this:

https://www.microcenter.com/produ...cpu-cooler

It was $5 cheaper in store and based on the specs, it appears to clearly handle the CPU wattage.
Seems to cool the 12k's, but when I had this on my 13700k I would see 100C often. Took it back to MC and ended up with an AIO instead for a little more.
