Hi, upgrading from an i5 8400 to an i7 9700k sounds like a big step. The 9700k typically needs a more powerful cooler than the H7 model. You mentioned you're considering the U12s Chromax and are okay with a clearance price. Adding an extra fan would help keep things cool, but it does add cost—especially since you're already budget-conscious. The idea of getting a cooler and a splitter is tempting, though the total expense is quite high right now. You’re weighing savings against performance and cooling needs. What do you think? Also, the cover and splitter are definitely appealing, but the current price feels steep.

Choose the Fuma 2 or Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240/280 for optimal performance.
