You don't really need a cooler with that processor, it's built in fan is pretty good (and loud enough on it's own). I would consider non-ASRock mobos. It may or may not be the cause of some wonky behavior in my computer since I switched a bunch of parts, but I think it may be the cause. --- sig poll: buzz cola or duff beer 1 - 1 thus far (after like 2 years) <cite>alt_no_1_loves posted [p:903658296] in Would anyo...

P4wn4g3 06/20/18 9:37:19 PM #25:	You always need to be worried about cooling. The most common hardware failures are all overheating issues. I have a liquid cooled CPU, but I'm in New Mexico where there is dust and heat. Some nice fans should be fine as long as there is circulation through the tower. Speaking of, go find a tower compatible with your mobo of choice. Unlike the other guy I suggest asrock because they are essentially gaming mobos. If you don't plan on doing OC then you don't even need to worry about voltages or complicated nonsense that goes into all that. Edit nvm just saw you picked a case. Mid tower is kinda small? Things get hot faster with small machines so cooling has to be more efficient. I ended up getting a really big one shrug it's also easier to work in. NOM posted... Prefer 24GB.
