Just got my brand new build planned out, I am still deciding on which cooler to use for my (hopefully) 5ghz overclocked 8600K. Would the Cooler Master MasterAir series be sufficient or should I buy the beefy Noctuas?
Please, no AIO liquid coolers.

FYI the prospect build specs are here:
CPU: Intel Core i5-8600K
Motherboard: MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon AC
RAM: (still have to decide given the air cooler memory constraints)
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1080 X+ Gaming
Case: Fractal Design Define R6 Black TG

Thanks in advance.

Beefier Noctua's for sure as the 8600K overclocked to 5GHz will run quiet hot...I have just delidded my 8700K which was terrifying but turned out to be much easier than I thought with a delid tool..And I have to admit the temp change was amazing at near 20 degrees c reduction under stress testing...Worth a look if overclocking to 5GHz.

But to answer your question, go for the Noctua...
