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.
Just set power limits according to the workloads you run. Unless you’re blasting all cores at full tilt, Intel isn’t any hotter than Ryzen.
This article might be of help in making a decision.
Throttling your own cpu seems to be a bad idea bc then you do not get what the benchmarking boast and in the end perform worse than an amd product at similar price?
In 99% of use cases you get exactly what benchmarks promise. Power limits only affect very small set of workloads.
