Hello. I'm replacing the stock cooler on my AMD FX-8350 @ 4GHz to Hyper 212 Evo.
I missed a slight detail though - the part number - I wanted 2000 RPM and didn't know there even existed a 1600 RPM version, which I purchased by mistake.
I use my PC for various tasks, including data generation, computing, virtualization, RDP and gaming, often all simultaneously, so the utilization usually will hang around 80-90%.
Also, planning to overclock to 4.4GHz soon-ish.
The question is: Is 1600 RPM going to be enough to keep the CPU and core temps below 60C in decent ambient temps, or should I replace it with 2000 RPM model?
The case is Zalman Z3 Plus, the ambient temps are good and the air circulation is proper.
Thanks!
