|OT| The PC Hardware Thread -- Buy/Upgrade/Ask/Answer

Im looking at the pc part picker site, and I get this warning, what does it mean exactly?
I’ve not seen than before on PCPP, but it means your CPU cooler can only handle 100w of heat output from the CPU, whereas the CPU can max out at 120w.

Potential thermal throttling?

The long and short: pick a new CPU cooler.
 
Thinking about switching to this case instead, also really nice but the one thing Im worried about is noise levels, since its textile, so nothing really do dampen sounds and its going to sit on the desk right next to the monitor.

Also wonder how dusty it's going to become. Also are my cats going to use it as a scratch post.XD
