The cooler can handle way more than 125W. Its 150W capable at least and I would think 175W too. The reason why is in the extreme low Tcase rating for the X chips. I cant remember seeing one below 60C Tcase before. You are right tho, they would be 125W TDP chips without very good cooling. Will be interesting to see how 3rd party coolers that are used to much higher Tcase ratings will handle it.Its all related to this:
