How do you find out what CPU cooler I need?
So if you want to know your cooler type, you need to take off your CPUs side-cover and then look up to see the model and make of the cooler. But if you can’t open the side-cover or are afraid to do so, you can look up your PC model online and try to see if there’s a part number listed therein.
How good does a CPU cooler need to be?
It’s All About Keeping Your CPU Cool The key thing that any CPU cooler needs to do, obviously, is to keep your processor from getting too hot. If your CPU cooler does a good job of that, then it’s fine. Generally, this means any temperature above 80 degrees Celsius.
How tight should my cooler be on my CPU?

Do games use 8 cores?
Generally speaking, six cores is usually considered optimal for gaming in 2021. Four cores can still cut it but would hardly be a future-proof solution. Eight or more cores might provide performance improvement, but all this depends mainly on how a particular game is coded and what GPU the CPU would be paired with it.
How long will CPU last without cooling?
you can run the CPU for about 20 seconds, before it gets to around 60-70 degrees. this is plenty of time to see if the computer POSTs correctly. I have done this quite a bit to test hardware.
