Awesome stuff.

It depends a lot on what you do with you cpu and if you mind some throttling, 100% full thread load can go over 250watt (and peak over 270) stock and will throttle with a good 360mm AIO.
For gaming, it will be way easier to cool
As cheap as the plates are now it’s worth just getting one. I think I just paid less than $8 for a Thermalright branded one from Amazon, their most current revision.
until the screws stop. they are designed to bottom out. not sure where people are getting their info and using the thermal griz instructions for the TR model i

They don't talk about the screws. You only lightly secure them. Once they start to feel tight, do an additional 1/4 - 1/2 turn, and that's it.
Here is another video of the same frame, with a different brand name:
I have. I originally wanted the Thermal Grizzly bracket but they were impossible to get early own and cost too much. I got this one from Amazon and it works very nicely....https://www.amazon.com/CHEUKCHI-LGA17XX-BCF. I have since gotten the...
I remember when AlderLake first came out, there was a lot of discussion about the LGA1700 retainer bending the CPU's IHS. On my MSI Z690-A Pro board, I didn't bother with one of the aftermarket anti-bending brackets when running i5-12400 or...
After some more reading it seems the fc140 with the 5 * 8 mm pipes performed on par or worse than the phantom spirit 120, which has 7 * 6 mm pipes and uses dual 120mm fans. It’s a bit more compact and has better performance to boot. If prices...
The heatsink/fin stack is larger on the 140 versions, too. Pretty much equivalent in normal performance (desktop/gaming). Given price parity, I tend to opt for the larger of the two since when I run the CPU's I use these on they will run for days...
When it comes to gaming I seem to recall the difference between the 12700k and 12900k was a few percent or less in most games. The 12700k does run cooler. If I were only gaming primarily I’d go with the 12700k and spend the difference on...
I ran the PA 120mm on a 12900KS I use for testing GPU's. No issues. If I purposefully pushed the CPU hard then it can overwhelm the cooler over time, but for normal use, it's perfectly fine and not loud, even on an open test bench.
If you are...
Yeah, pretty incredible for a $35 cooler.
I guess I'll go with the 12900K. The extra $40 over the 12700K is small enough that I'd rather pay it and ride it longer than I'd ride the 12700K before the next upgrade. My biggest concern was about...
It does though.
Gone are the days of needing a $100 noctua. I own multiple brands but the thermalright hold their own against the more expensive brands. Quality is better arguable on the noctua stuff but it’s not really noticeable and generally...
no, theyll probably be at max, depending on whats happening and/or how you config your fan profile. BUT they are not jet-like, the noise it totally bearable, theyre quieter than any of the current consoles....
Update: Have an opportunity to get i9-12900K for $40 more than the 12700K. Worth the price difference? I won't be overclocking. Also, will the Peerless Assassin 120 provide enough cooling (without sounding like an airplane at takeoff) for 12900...
