Im still thinking about switching to Intel and obviously every single review mentions how hot this CPU can get. Thing is: This is mostly at STOCK SETTINGS and in BENCHMARKS. How about real world usage? Can anyone share his experience with this CPU and with reasonable powerlimits/undervolting? Im also planning to use my aircooler, a Noctua u12A. My goal is to keep the PC quiet, would this be possible with aircooling and a bit of fiddling in BIOS? Im cool as long as I could keep the RPM under 1000 much like I do right now on my Ryzen CPU.
I have a 13600kf, dual tower thermalright peerless assassin was still noisy even with undervolting and custome fan curves. I can only imagine what next gen i7 sounds like… I ended up getting an aio by the time all was said and done.
(I mostly game with it but occasionally work on audio stuff)
