I posted this question in another thread, but no one responded. I'm not sure if people just don't know the answer or they simply didn't see my question. So, I'm breaking out the question and asking it again here.
Does anyone know how to determine:
1. How cool does your machine currently run? I'm thinking software like CPUID might work?
2. How cool will my machine have to run to keep all the proposed new components cool? Components: i7 12700K or even a 14700K series, 32GB of DDR5, ASUS TUF mobo, GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, two SSD's, Corsair RM850e (2023) PSU.
3. Also, I'm sure my Antec 1200 case will fit for any ATX build I want to do?
PC Cooling. How much, and how do you know?

Re: PC Cooling. How much, and how do you know?
This is my build from 18 months ago. For temps I use MSI Afterburner, CUPID HWMonitor and Quick CPU monitoring the computers operation.
Processor: Intel 12700k
Processor Cooler: Cooler master Hyper 212 (using two fans)
MOBO: Asus TUF Gaming Z690-Plus WIFI D4
Ram: 64G GSKILL 3600
Drives: Samsung M2-2TB, Samsung M2-1TB (just for DCS), Intel SSD 480 GB (this one is open) and a Western Digital Black 1TB Platter drive I use for storage.
Power Supplu: Asus 850 gold
VID Card: EVGA 3060TI 8GB
I'm running all cores at 100%, P-cores @ 5000, E-cores @ 3800. I used the Asus bios to overclock.
My temps at idle generally 32c gaming in the 50's low 60's.
Case is an old Coolermaster HAF 960 using 3 200 fans and 2 140m fans.
Hope this helped,
Wingy

Grifter,
I'm using at least 4 fans in my rig. I can monitor the temps via a Corsair program called iCue. Here is a screenshot of the monitor:
And for the RAM:
So far it's working fine for me.

Grifter,
Do you have a MicroCenter Store near by? If so they have bundles MoBo and processor combos that will save money. Then you'll build off those components. BTW, I used my Win7 Code to install Win 11 in that machine.

Re: PC Cooling. How much, and how do you know?
Oh, and I forgot to mention Grif: Most of my PC components I got from newegg.com. They had a few good bundles, the pricing was different, and if something didn't work out, I got free shipping on the returns. Got a free shipping refund returning a mid-tower which with its size probably would've cost a good amount. I can also go back into my order history and see what components I got and when, and how much I paid for them.

Re: PC Cooling. How much, and how do you know?
HI guys,
Thanks for the information, which is helpful. I was looking more at a means of predicting my cooling needs to inform my build before actually building it. Wingy, your PC specs are close to what I'm thinking about and so thanks for providing them. Bones, I will check out iCue, as it may prove helpful for monitoring. I like its glossier presentation better than CUPID and others.
Wingy, yes, there is a Microcenter in Boston. I had no idea it was there until Creeper mentioned it to me. I'm probably going to take a day and go in to talk to someone. I've used Newegg in the past, but if I can talk to someone in person, that's probably better. At Microcenter, I understand that they will also help you through the build. It might be good to have someone looking over my shoulder.
Thanks guys.
