Are fans enough for higher end CPUs? (alien.top)

Hi guys, I've been looking at high end i7 and i9 CPUs for a new build, I'm a relative novice when it comes to this sort of thing.

I'm aware that these CPUs can heat up quite a bit, I was going with fans for cooling, but I've been wondering if fans will be enough to keep things cool?

I'm going to have a frostflow 200 series for cpu cooling, with 4 corsair fans on the front.

I'm aware liquid cooling might be more ideal, but I've always been intimidated by maintaining a liquid cooled system, so I'm just wondering if I'll get by with fans?

Thanks!
