It might run a little hotter, but even in that case it would be fine. Also I don't think it comes with a wraith cooler...

The cpu is fairly trash. Ud be better off spending and extra $50 or so and going with an r3 1200 and any cheap used gpu you can source

It's not horrible. If it's just for HTPC uses, it's a good budget chip.

It's a low TDP processor. but if you want a cheap processor for basic uses like you said, consider the Celeron 3930. It has faster single core performance and its's around 30-40$.

Can it be passively cooled?

Not in a small PC. Passively cooling 65W takes a lot of aluminum.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

I'm thinking of using this case with that apu to create a nice and small pc is the bundled heatsink for the a12 enough to keep it cool in that case? https://www.newegg.com/global/mx/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352059&ignorebbr=1 (the case) Does the A12 include a Wraith Cooler?


i wouldnt count on it
my A12-9800 in a NZXT S340 with all fan mounts populated using the stock cooler and im ideling at arround 60 degrees Celsius in fact the inc stock cooler base doesnt even fully cover the cpu ihs
