1) Likely true.
2) Not sure about the details; maybe I’ll try a cooler later to check the connection.
3) Around 65 degrees Fahrenheit, quite chilly.

Thanks for the reminder, I keep toggling around it. I understand it doesn’t add up in terms of points, but that big red circle really bothers me because of my low-key OCD.

Upgrade the cooler before proceeding. The stock Wraith Prism cooler is a solid choice for your setup. Did the motherboard include the plastic clips, screws, and back plate?

You're referring to a Gigabyte B450M setup. The cooler included with the 3600 model is likely the stealth option. You're wondering whether to opt for Prism or upgrade to a better Noctua cooler for around $20 more.

It might be the thermal paste, but high-quality options often act more as insulation than heat transfer. Arctic Silver 5, Arctic MX-4, Noctua NT-H1, and Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut are all solid choices. They’re widely available, so you should easily find a suitable one.

The Noctua cooler offers a significant improvement over others, making it a much better choice. I suggest purchasing one.

I’m considering ordering something new. I just received an unexpected bonus from work, so I’ll treat myself. Between F@H, PLEX Server, and acting like I’m skilled at games, my computer gets a good challenge.

The Wraith helps keep my 2700X running cooler, and honestly that part is much hotter than yours. I prefer strong cooling if it's budget-friendly. For top performance, definitely choose the Noctua model.

Just installed the new Noctua and really like the appearance it adds to the case. I’ll capture some photos soon. The height was a bit tight—still not the biggest but it works. After a short stress test, temps are stabilizing at 160F for GPU and 155F for CPU (with a small overclock). Thanks for the tips, everyone! -E
