I have really really tight budget. Mobo is z690 UD aorus and cpu is i5 12600k. Is that cooler even compatible with that cpu and mobo? Will it be good enough for cooling? Because I know that Intel can get really hot and especially where I live it can reach 40c/104f or even more at the summer

I am planning to get i5 11600k with z590 AD mobo and 2X16 ram but I wanted to buy 3600 rams and some guy told me that 3600 is completely useless with Intel I better stick with 3200 So is that true? Also are there anything else to focus on while buying rams (like manufacturing companies or any...
