This is further to my previous post on a DAW build. I build a PC every 3 years or so and am always amazed at the changes in tech. I'm moving from i5 technology and cooling to the world of i9's ...
Please assume that I build using an i9-12900K (onboard video I hope I've got that right!) and a Gigabyte Z690 powered by a CORSAIR RMe Series RM850e Fully Modular 80PLUS Gold ATX Power Supply , unless there is a better idea out there.
Through my reading I'm starting to worry about it running hot and to be sure it doesn't I'm uneducated as to fans and case to get. I'd like a full tower mainly because I like the space for my arthritic hands to work in.
So here is a list of questions:
1)Is there a special type of tower that I'd need to keep it cool?
2) how many fans should the tower have to accommodate the i9?
3) I know nothing about the new heat sinks that sit on the CPU, some look huge! I've read Tom's review on the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler and thought I'd get it. Will it suffice?
Thanks as always in advance,
Tim
