and yes it cools it down pretty well as long as you install it correctly.

Dont forget to put a thermal pad or thermal paste.

Your first computer will take you some time. It's like that with everything. My first took me 10 hours because it wasn't for me and wasn't with my money, so I was more cautious with the parts. The 2nd computer that I build took me 4 hours and I'm sure my next one won't take longer.

If you've never done it before, a week to build and tweak. Yeah, you can slap everything into it in a couple hours, but believe me, a single problem can eat up a whole day.

Get good at it and it take about 4-6 hours for everything.
