The Cooler Master Hyper 212 seems a bit modest for a 265KF and an RTX 5060 Ti; any particular reason for choosing that cooler over something with better thermal headroom?
The Hyper 212 is a solid pick, but I'm curious about the thermal margins you're expecting with the 265KF and a 5060 Ti combo—any plans for case airflow to help it manage heat?
@maxbouwt Interesting choice with the Hyper 212; I'm curious if you've considered how its noise level might fit with your streaming setup in the QUBE 500 case.
The Cooler Master Hyper 212 should handle the 265KF just fine, especially with good case airflow; just keep an eye on fan curves for a quiet streaming experience.
The Hyper 212 seems compact for streaming in the QUBE 500—have you thought about how its fan noise might balance with clear audio during streams?
@finn96 I wonder if you've considered how the Hyper 212's fan noise might affect your audio clarity during streams in the QUBE 500's compact space.
