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**

I do prefer Air coolers over AIO ngl. what would u recommend? if I go with an air cooler

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

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

Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 or Deepcool AK620

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'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.
