These components seem well-matched for your setup. The i5 12600KF pairs nicely with the Scythe Fuma 2 Rev.B and GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS ELITE, which should handle the heat effectively. Regarding temperatures, the cooler you chose appears sufficient for the 12600KF, especially when paired with a RTX 3070 at full settings. The 13600KF tends to get very hot, but your budget and performance needs make it a viable alternative. Most benchmarks focus on higher-end GPUs, so the difference should be minimal. What are your thoughts?
It looks like a solid offer here—12600kf is just 40€ less. The Scythe Fuma 2 Rev .B has received positive feedback, making it a solid choice and likely quieter than comparable models. I don’t have to worry about the 3070; it’s a strong card, and the CPU performs well for gaming.
The value seems to vary greatly depending on individual preferences. It might not be worth $100 at 1440p, and others could have strong differing views on what truly stands out.
The 13600K offers improved performance with extra eco features, slightly better clock speed and IPS quality. For gaming, the 12600K remains solid, especially at 80°C, though it struggles above 100°C. Your setup should handle it well, and the Fuma2 cooler is a solid choice.
