I am considering a PC with an AMD Ryzen 5 7600 (not the X version) and would appreciate some guidance on what cooler to get.
My situation:
My questions:
I am currently thinking of the H100x cooler.
The H150 might be even quieter because of the ML fans, but maybe that would be complete overkill?
My situation:
- My use will probably be 80ish% web browsing and office software, and 20% Lightroom (photo editing). I do not envisage gaming (maybe the odd game here and there, but rarely) nor anything too CPU-intensive (no AI coding etc).
- Quiet cooling when the PC is idle will be a priority. I get it that it will be louder if the CPU is at full load, but it should be as silent as possible if I am on a video call.
My questions:
- I know I don't need liquid cooling, but will liquid cooling be quieter?
- Should I expect a meaningful difference in terms of noise between the Corsair H60x, H100x etc?
