    Hey guys, I'm buying parts for my build, slowly but surely and one thing that has me nervous is that the only person I know personally who built a machine had loads of problems that he attributed to overheating.

    I want to avoid that but I don't know how much cooling is just enough, adaquete or overkill?

    I'm ordering one of these -> Cryorig H7

    Would appreciate any advice from more experienced members :)

    Cheers!

    Depends on your components compared to his, case, CPU, GPU and positioning of the PC, and if he overclocks etc.

    What is your spec gonna be?

    Stock coolers from Intel and AMD are good enough to run the CPU (as long as you're not overclocking).

    That H7 is nice though.

    Tell your friend to get rid of the dust in his vents :pac:
