Hi. I have read that i5s have a TDP of 70-80 Watt, what that's not much clear is ir that numbers are for idle or for full load situations. So I ask if 100w for a non OCed i5 3550 will be enough now that "summer is coming".
Thanks in anticipation!. :)

More than enough though what cooler are you looking at? Is it the stock cooler? If you're buying an aftermarket cooler I don't see why you shouldn't be able to get a Cryorig H7 cooler and call it a day. Unless you can't afford it at all.
