What's the long term cooling capacity of this case with a CPU under load. Judging by the following thread, a 65W TDP CPU is too much.

I wouldn't really be happy with using any CPU that couldn't complete 24 hours of Prime95 at acceptable temperatures in the case.
Can anyone else comment on this?

Re: Streacom FC5 Evo CPU Cooling Performance
In the FC8 (I think FC5 has roughly the same cooling capacity) I find that the i5-3570K gets too hot, unless underclocked. The i3-3225 works fine.
But as with all passive cases I would advice against running it at full load 24/7 for long periods of time. Not ideal for the motherboard. I wouldn't worry about 24h of Prime95 though.
