Hi Ky!

Follow-up to the message I wrote this morning.

Did check the links -- some new/better detailed information.  Actually 
this one (truncated) I did find on my own.  OK, with Goggle's help. <g> 
Did decide to go with the i5 12600K: didn't seem to be worth the extra 
money for a processor which seems to be faster only for stuff I don't or
only rarely do.  Gives me time to take a sip of my coffee/tea/water!

Down here someplace there was a link regarding cooler considerations for 
the i7-12700K version.  As the i5 and i7 are essentially identical 
except for the max heat might be good to pay attention!  ...Decided on 
the Noctura NH-U12S -- the 140 mm version are expensive! (But cheaper
than charcoaling the motherboard and CPU.)  Single fan with the ability
to add a second fan.  Will monitor with pSensor and see if needed.

Also need to find again the video on "Too Many Fans" -- found in one of
the links and made a note to look at it later in my notes.  Would make
sense: need an airflow, and if too strong front-to-back might create a
stagnant air pool at the top and bottom of the case because air can't 
flow into the main stream easily.  Or causes whistles as the air is 
jet-streamed through!  Also thinking too much forced air can pull air
the wrong way through devices like the PSU.
