Noctua NH-U14S good enough for OC'd 8700k?

[pencea]

I can find a lot info about the Noctua NH-D15(S) in combination with the 8700k, but none with the Noctua NH-U14S. Do you guys think that my Noctua NH-U14S will be sufficiënt if I want to overclock the 8700k say to a modest 4.8ghz?

Is the Noctua NH-U14S compatible with socket 1151?

Yes, it should be fine.

It's not quite as good as the D15 obviously but Noctua still rates it for 165W+ TDP and Anandtech showed that it's only 2.6C worse than the D15 up to 150W load. The D15 only really pulls far ahead at 200W+ loads.

Besides being ugly as all hell youll probably do just fine.

As sancus has made mention.. 200 plus watts etc.. even overclocked youll be hard pressed for a coffee lake to pull more than 120 watts.
