CPU Cooler

 Anything that draws power also generates heat, and the CPU generates lots of heat.

Make sure you have a CPU-Cooler that is compatible with your CPU and Socket. It’s the same as with the Motherboard and CPU Socket. The Cooler has to fit the CPU and Socket.

There are two popular CPU-Cooler types. One is the Air-Cooled Tower Cooler, and the other is an AIO (All-In-One) Closed Waterloop CPU Cooler.

Example: Are you planning to buy an AM5 CPU such as the AMD Ryzen 7700X? You’ll need an AM5 Socket Motherboard and an AM5 compatible CPU-Cooler too.

 The CPU is the engine of your computer and sets the performance expectations for the entire build. The CPU provides the processing power and instructions behind all your computer’s operations.

When determining which CPU to install, pay attention to the gigahertz (GHz) — the higher the GHz, the faster the processor. However, more GHz also means the CPU consumes more energy, leading to higher system temperatures that require better airflow or heat dissipation. This will likely mean you need to add a cooling system to your build as well.

The most famous CPU are AMD Ryzen CPUs and the Intel CPUs
