TDP headroom to air/AIO tier

Quick Answer

CPU Cooler Calculator: TDP headroom to air/AIO tier. CPU Cooler Calculator uses standard developer formulas to compute accurate results instantly.

Recommended cooler class6-heatpipe dual-tower air

How it works

  1. 1Cooling target = 120 × 1.2 = 144 W
  2. 2Matched against 100/180/250 W tiers → 6-heatpipe dual-tower air
  3. 3Case fit: 机箱 CPU 限高 ≥165mm

Match the cooler to real load power (PL2/PPT), not the TDP label: ≤100 W single-tower is enough; 100-180 W wants a 6-heatpipe dual-tower; 180-250 W needs an 8-heatpipe flagship or a 240mm AIO; above 250 W a 360mm AIO is practically required.

Leave ~20% headroom for long loads (overclockers 35%+). A 120mm AIO often underperforms a cheap 4-heatpipe air cooler - skip it.

Check case CPU-clearance (≥155 mm single-tower, ≥165 mm dual-tower) or radiator support (240/360mm). Water cooling is not maintenance-free: watch for pump noise and seepage from year 3; prefer brands with 5-year leak-replacement warranty.
