Hello,
I need advice from people who are more knowledgeable than me in CPU cooling. I want my computer to be as quiet as possible and I am going to replace my CPU cooler. I am wondering if a good fanless cooler would be enough for me or if I should go with liquid cooling instead.
My CPU is an Athlon FX4100. Currently, when it reaches 20% usage the fan becomes annoying and at 30% or more it is VERY annoying.
I ran a test by loading it more than I ever do for about 20 minutes. The usage ranged between 47% and 52%. The CPU temp averaged 52 celcius and went as high as 60 while the maximum power used was 58.8 Watts.
And as I said, this was with much more load than I ever do, I had a netflix movie playing, a few browser tabs opened, some music playing in windows media player and I was playing Spinztires at the same time.
So, since these seems like low figures of temp and power, would a good fanless cooler be enough ?
