I actually cancelled the order for the Torrent & the NH-D15 and went for the Meshify 2 XL & the Arctic Freezer II 420.

So, today I ordered a NH-D15 to go in a Fractal Torrent case to cool a i9 12900k. but, I've read that, at the 241w boost setting the 12900k has, it gets a bit toasty with the NH-D15. So, I was wondering if the difference between a Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360mm and the NH-D15 is worth cancelling the order and ordering the Arctic instead?

I currently have an i9 10900k on a Asus Maximus XII Apex, and I have a RTX 3090 and a 2TB Samsung 980 Pro, both able to take advantage of PCIe Gen 4 on this board, but only on 11th gen. Should I upgrade to an i9 11900k to take advantage of Gen 4 (which I can get for quite cheap at the moment), or should I stay with my i9 10900k?

I ended up removing the Optane drive and going for two 6TB WD Blacks.

I already have the Optane, and Ironwolf in general isn't as reliable as Barracuda Pros.

Can only buy on Newegg currently, so no Easystores. I use it for gaming and general storage.

I'm actually using Optane, so I'm limited to one drive here.

I'm looking for a new hard drive due to my 3TB one filling up too quick for my liking. I've narrowed it down to the WD Gold 10TB (due to the Black only having a 6TB option), and the Seagate BarraCuda Pro 10TB. Which one should I get?
