Arctic liquid freezer II 240 enough for a 14700k in gaming/emulation loads? (alien.top)

As the title says, I'm considering upgrading my 13600k to a 14700k ( yes I know it wont be a huge upgrade, no need to remind me). My liquid freezer II 240 has cooled my 13600k exceptionally well. It rarely goes above 50c in gaming. All pcores boost to 5.1ghz no sweat. Perhaps that thick radiator helps idk.

I'm hoping I'll have undervolting avaliable for this but I'm not 100% sure it will work. So I think I should go into this assuming undervolting wont work and if it does, even better. Explaining will take too many words and I'm trying to keep this short.

Anyway, what I want from this cpu is the cache, the two extra p-cores especially for apps that don't use ecores, and the higher turbo frequencies, primarily for poorly multithreaded games ( cant overclock on this mobo). Will I be able to sustain 5.5ghz all p-core in gaming/emulation loads? I suspect I wont be able to in cinebench but I don't really care about that. Even the 13600k gets into the 90s in cinebench r23 but it doesn't throttle.

Also, would disabling some of the ecores perhaps help as a last resort? I know they're helpful for background tasks and even helpful for gaming sometimes, but do I really need 12 for that?

Oh, and I have a 4090 btw. And for airflow I have 2 140mm, and 1 120mm fans for intake, and the aio plus one more 120mm fan for exhaust.

Thanks!

I’m using a 240 on my 139000k.. as long as I’m not smashing it, seems to be doing fine.

I know the 13900k all core boosts to 5.4 and not 5.5, but can it do that sustainably when its not facing some ridiculous load like cinebench?
