Ok so I have a 12600k and was running a coolermaster hyper 212 black edition. It was fine originally but during the recent heatwave my computer got like 20 bsod's. Couldn't figure it out but then I thought maybe it's temp related.. checked hw mon and sure enough 103-105C and I went F _ _ K!
What worked great for 2 years wasn't going to work anymore despite me constantly blowing dust and lint out and generally keeping it clean.
Got myself a Thermalright Peerless Assassin with 2 Noctua NF-P12 fans (both blowing intake) and I'm like holy smokes! From 105C and crashing.. it's now down to 88C peak under max gaming load. Averaging more like 82-84. So almost a 20C difference.
Don't underestimate the dual tower coolers or Peerless Assassin 120 anymore especially if you hate water cooling for the super hot Intel cpus.
Hope that helps anyone having random bsod crashes or random reboots due to overheating!
