    It won't run into HEAVY games like cyberpunk or Forza. It'll mostly (to my knowledge play LoL, valorant and other less heavy games. But I'll look into it and rely the message 

    Still, the price difference between your chosen 2 heat pipe cooler and a half decent 4 heat pipe cooler might even reflect in performance.  I think 2 heat pipe cooler might cause even 12400F to thermal throttle.

    https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/zRPzL9 this is the link once more for anyone who can't see it/has it as private 

    Even for 12400F the cooler might not be enough.

    I'd go for at least 4 heat pipe cooler, something like - https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/KBkWGX/id-cooling-se-214-xt-648-cfm-cpu-cooler-se-214-xt

    Those cost 144€ here. are they really better than the closed back Sundara?

    I'm not really very familiar with differences in details of different headphones.

     

    In rtings the HE400SE is more highly rated by "neutral sound" - https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/hifiman/he400se

    Than Sennheiser HD 25 - https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/sennheiser/hd-25

    And I tend to trust rtings reviews. And a good sound is far above portability or other features, even wireless matters little.

  4. HE400SE at ~75€

    Sundara (closed back) at ~180€

     

    The Sundara is usually above 300€, yet in Aliexpress HiFiMan official store they are now 178€.

    I wonder if there might be a catch? I bought my HE400SE in 2021 for 150€+

    Links to Aliexpress needed? I'll add the link anyway.

     

    The prices seem to go up and down quite a lot it seems. And I'm obviously after lower end headphones.

    So, there is a size limit on the CPU Cooler.
    If you knew how big 6x3x8cm are, then you wouldn't mention a 6-7 heatpipe dual tower, so I assume American 😄
    6x3x8cm closest too it would be a portable power bank. In freedom units this would be: 2,3622 x 1,1811 x 3,14961 in

    Nah, you did not mention that the dimensions are required/max, rather you mentioned  "if the cooler is about.."

    Metric system here last I heard.  

    6x3x8cm  would be required max dimensions for a CPU or power bank? For CPU there should be possible retail products, for a power bank it's obviously another deal.

    But really, don't mind me, maybe I misread. Edit: yeah I actually did.

    But is a cooler without heatpipes as good as a cooler with heatpipes if the cooler is about 6x3x8cm (WxHxL)

    Not likely.

    A modern dual-tower 6-7-heatpipe cooler is far above solid metal radiators in efficiency. That's why the latter are gone I believe.

    So if using just a solid block of aluminium with ridges/fins and no heatpipe, would it be good enough if the size is the same and it needs to cool a 20W CPU/GPU?

    That's hard to tell. But I'm not an expert.

    The lower end coolers would cool 20W CPU very easily and cost ~$10€. For GPUs there are not many options for lower end GPUs.

     

     

    If making a custom cooler it might cost more and be relatively inefficient is my point.

    if you mostly game, and have the money for a 14700k, it would be better to sell your current cpu and mobo, and get a 7800X3D, because it's just overall way better for gaming

    It's better, but as mentioned CPU, MoBo and potentially RAM need swapping. And Zen 5 is on the horizon, perhaps 14700F will do till then.  Zen 5 is supposedly a quite a big leap even over current X3D.

  8. i7 13700F real turbo power consumptions might exceed 200W - https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/230491/intel-core-i713700f-processor-30m-cache-up-to-5-20-ghz/specifications.html

    Processor Base Power 65 W
    Maximum Turbo Power 219 W

     

    RTX 3070 also might exceed 200W - https://www.igorslab.de/en/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3070-founders-edition-in-test-ampere-can-also-economic-and-cuddly-small/12/

    Other parts consume a bit too. 

    I'd buy a decent PSU before other upgrades.

    The TDP or 65W or 125W is meant without turbo clocks, which are usually enabled. So yeah.
