Your temps might be high, and your CPU might throttle, but that’s about it. My brother built a 5600 PC recently. His CPU temps were reaching 95c while gaming with the stock cooler. He replaced it with a Peerless Assassin and the temps dropped down into the 50s. I kid you not.

Yes! Stock fans coolers aren’t amazing but assuming reasonable ambient temps and okay case airflow you should be fine. Cat’s aren’t the best for airflow but a few extra degrees of temp is worth it for a happy cat gaming buddy. The main reason I replace stock coolers is for noise and looks.

It’s cute and all, but it has been warned many times that it’s not good for your PC. Cat fur gets inside might cause problems, especially getting caught by fans.

obviously, how else are you gonna warm your cats belly?

Put that top fan at the front , 2 intake and 1 exhaust would be better than 2 exhaust and 1 intake
If possible then get a phantom spirit for 35$ or a peerless assassin

Id be more worried about cat hair getting into the case tbh.

Stock amd cooler worked perfect back when I had my 5600. I changed to a water cooler just for looks and it barely made a difference

it’s comepetely fine if youre okay with replacing your AIO cooler every 6 months..lol i learned the hard way

Cat hair will probably clog up your fans and fill your PC with cat hair, but your desktop will continue to wirelessly charge your cat, so it’s a trade off situation.

I had to replace my cooler. Ran multiple different stress tests and every time my cpu would go over 90c with the stock cooler. I used a 120mm aio liquid cooler and I have yet to get over 67c

You might want to move that top fan to the front above the other one, positive pressure will prevent dust and sat hair getting sucked into the case 👍 will also let you cat chill there without issue

You should be fine. I swapped cases about 6 weeks ago so my cats could lay on top and get the warmth from the 360 AIO. Temps go up about 5C when one of them is up there but is still controllable.

I dont have anything to offer. I just want your cat’s backstory

Is that cat stock? Came with the case I assume?
Gotta upgrade it and retire that one. Get a smaller, sleeker model to prevent air flow restriction.
