I Installed an M.2 card and also Windows 10 pro today. Only got a 120mm fan in the back end of the new kolink midi tower chassi. Cpu temp was around 47-60 with a 100mm on the cpu and the motherboard 46. Put another two 120mm at the top and then the cpu seems to be around 42 to 43 with a simple download and with 30 degrees in the room when the element got too hot. The motherboard is at 42. I have only worked with retro computers before such as Dell workstation and they tend to be much cooler only with 2 120mm industrial fans in the front and even without a cpu fan the cpu is around 21-27 in normal mode. Guess artic paste can cool down the cpu more? This paste that i used was more standard, maybe even the cooler was screwed in there a little crookedly. But i was very careful. The M.2 card is at 38-43.

I did a bugdet build, a pity for the special overclock motherboard but i will get more classy things. I got a i5-11400f 2.60with /4.40ghz. G.SKILL Trident Z Royal Series (Intel XMP) DDR4 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 4000MT/s CL18-22-22-42 1.40V Desktop Computer Memory UDIMM - Silver (F4-4000C18D-32GTRS). The memory's seems to be running on 1333 and the processor can stand 3200.

Newer motherboards require more fans? MOS seems to be at 42-43
 
What are you using to cool the processor? As for the case, what model is the Kolink case? If you didn't work with CPUs in the last 10 years, then yes the concurrent generation of processors run hot, so you need to make sure your case's airflow is optimal or above that.
 
I had to cut away a little metal box to the right that should hide the cbles to make it suit. I forgot it only was for ATX and my board is EATX. It was only 0.8mm to big the motherboard. There was a bigger kolink that could handle EATX that look the same but had two front triangles. I use a cooler master https://kolink.eu/Home/case-1/midi-tower-2/void-series/void.html

Cooler Master Hyper H410R RGB CPU Air Cooler - Low-Profile Cooling System, Direct Contact Technology, 4 Copper Heat Pipes, Compact Aluminium Heatsink with 92mm RGB PWM Fan - AMD & Intel Compatible. A cheap cooler. When i use Windows update in Windows 10 the temp goes on 43-50. I have just upgraded to Windows 11, Can i use two windows? Windows 10 on a ssd and 11 on a m.2 card? Only to change if the ssd boot first or the m.2 card?​

 
But i did a mistake when adding cooling paste i took a neadle and spred it around the cpu. I know you should only put a click in the middle. And when i should screw i will screw in a cross? Example upper right and bottom left, and then upper left bottom right, and i do not screw so tight first. It can be complicated when you ned to hold a hand on the back also so the back plastic plate don't fall off. It is the plastic plate with the screws to the cooler.

I rolled back to Windows 10 pro since i missed the wheater and news feed next to the clock. And the start menu like in old windows. The cpu temp in idle in Windows 10 seems to be 42, the motherboard 42, m.2 card 39. With 30 degress in the room.
