Case?

It's the corsair iCUE 220T. Not spectacular but did my needs.

Gpu? 12600k looks overkill for what it is if your gaming

I wanted to future proof with something reliable. I put my existing evga 1050Ti SC 4gb in there, card prices are so high right now I'm just waiting to see what happens.

Sounds awesome! Give yourself a pat on the back.

Have you benchmarked it? I have doubts that a Hyper 212 can keep up with the heat output of a 12 series.
i5 is fine
Heat is only a problem on a 12900k with OC on full load.
I haven't. The 212 is temporary, I want to find an inexpensive 240 rad for the top. I have my LEDs set to cpu temp for now just in case, if it blows up I'll be sure to update lol.
Others have pointed out that a 12600K is not nearly as hot as a 12900K, so you're probably fine.
Yeah I'm sure it's fine. I just want to go bigger, better gpu and cooling just as something to do to it.
