If the cooler is inadequate ( and I trust your judgement ) why are they even offering it as an option with this CPU? I was told that all parts will work together very well with no problem.

Live chat and discord mods when I was evaluating my own build I tried not to leave a stone unturned so I was just asking questions here and there.

Well... with live chat I'd argue that you're usually getting someone from a sales team. Not to say that they don't know their stuff but I'd personally seek the advice on tech stuff elsewhere.

Can't comment on the Discord side of things, I've only been on there once.

The forum here is where the technological hive mind lives :D (y)

Yeah, the CPU is going to struggle for definite, the case and the cooler are both vastly inadequate.

What is the cpu going to struggle with? is it the cooling? and why is the case so bad it was tested on gamer nexus, and it's one of the best cpu cases for it's price range amazing thermals on that case.
