Thanks hardware brother. lol
Never had an 8core before, hoping stock idle thermals are not crazy high. Not certain why I'm worried about that so much. :rolleyes:
Does your 12900KS idle high at stock settings?

You should be fine with your cooling solution running default settings, no need to worry.
My 12900KS idle temps are 22-24c across all cores running default settings, during normal usage, light loads with same EK V2 block you have.
Be sure to use the 0.6Nm Torque Screwdriver when mounting your water block, or assembling any EK water blocks. https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-loop-torque-screwdriver-0-6nm
Yes sir, I ordered the new special edition block, they are only releasing 100.

YES absolutely, Apex does not have Thunderbolt "on board" or the rear I/O lighting display like the Hero, yet you should be able to overclock your 7200 kit to 7600 and maybe 7800 stable. And it's white instead of black. 🙂
In the US the Apex is $70USD more than the Hero. 🙂
