Re: CPU cooler: what [USER=3024]@rfarmer[/USER] says - that or the AXP120-X67.
Just finished a sustained load test with a vastly more powerful CPU, the 7950X, and yeah, the X53 Full Copper is nice, but the AXP120-X67 does the job sooo much better. With the small CPU cooler, the CPU was hovering around 94° C after 10 minutes of full load, with a maximum noise level of 50 db (distance: 30 cm from case).
With the bigger cooler, nothing jumped above 75° C, and noise level was "audible, but calm" (~ 39 db).
I suggest getting the Silverstone Air Slimmer 120, too, which has turned out to be the best slim 120 fan in my tests so far, both with for CPU heatsinks as well as a case fan. Noise level is second-best (No. 1 is still Noctua NF-A12x15).
For case fans, what I know of, people suggest getting both a top exhaust as well as bottom intake fan. In theory, a slim 120 mm fan may fit above the PSU, and depending on cable routing acrobatics, either a 120 or 92 mm fan should fit below.
There are also 3d-printed mounts to allow for a full-size 120 mm fan on top of the PSU.
Gotta say, I'm mostly reading about this, as I dont own a Terra myself.
