How to interpret heatsink power rating vs cpu tdp ? (node 202+ AXP-100 H vs 8700k)

[soulbadguy]

Hello,
I am trying to figure out if a axp-100 H can handle a 8700k MCE at 4.7 ghz. The headsink is rated at 180W . vs 95 W for the 8700K. I understand that the CPU TDP is not the peak power the cpu can produce, but rather some kind of real world/typical power dissipation.
But i have no idea how to read the 180W on the heatsink side, does it imply the maximum power the heatsink can dissipate, or that the heasink can handle a CPU or TDP 180W ?

maximum heat it can dissipate

maximum heat it can dissipate

So a 180W is not garranty to be able to handle a 95 W at maximum clock ?

Assuming sufficient fan speed, the heatsink can remove 180W. If the CPU draws less, it;ll work.
