does it make sense? as from data i have seen 13700kf in full boost (5.4 ghz on p cores and whatever maximum on e cores) consumes 280w
as i understand i wouldn't be able to use air cooler (at least without different fans?)
for information where i live deepcool ls720 costs 130, peerless assassin 120 se about 40
as i understand assasin wouldn't even allow cpu to break 5 ghz barrier making even 13600kf work much better?

I have a 12700K and my beQuiet Dark Rock Pro 4 is able to dissipate around 230W sustained with a peak of around 270W. But I only ever hit that kind of wattage when OC'ed to 5.0 all-core and when benchmarking. In my most CPU-intense game, it only pulls around 150W where the CPU sits at around 80°C with the fan at 50%. I'd strongly recommend getting either a Thermalright or Theralgrizzly contact frame if you want to run an air cooler. Without the contact frame, the CPU was only able to sustain around 190W.

#

The 12700K will only pull more than 250W under VERY heavy loads. So unless you render a lot on your CPU, you'd be fine with an air cooler

13700 pulls even more
and yes contact frame and different fans (artic p12 max, 3 of them) is minium for me

as i found best cooler (that i can find locally for reasonable price) pentawave z06d

If you dont need the multicore though i’d look at getting a ryzen 7700 instead

with your logic i should get 12100f lol
