Wondering in general how much of a difference gaming and photo editing are when it comes to effects on the hardware, and how much to discount (if at all) articles and comments made by users thinking only of gaming. Some of which in this case are suggesting that this cooler may not be up to the task considering the CPU can run higher than the TDP (105) and the cooler is rated at 120, and that the TDP numbers are really only a guide.
Seems that just about every review, comment and article making cooler suggestions (and just about everything else computer related) is done with gaming in mind. Compromise is a big word in my vocabulary when buying gear or just about anything not manufactured here. So I have to make do with the best that´s available and where what is available isn´t ridiculously expensive. In addition to paying premium prices I´m also faced with reduced selection, sometimes to the point that entire brands are not available - in this case Noctua, which Puget Systems uses. Interenet reading suggests that the 5800x runs the hottest of all the new Ryzens.Ĭame across a good deal on a be quiet! Pure Rock Slim and am curious if this will do the job. This is my first time buying a CPU without an included cooler. More expensive obviously, but seems like the better value for money spent and I don´t feel like I´m getting ripped off.
I was originally looking at the 5 3600, but there is a 45% premium over MSRP so I decided to upgrade to the 5800x with only a 15% premium.
