I am trying to decide between a Ryzen 5 1400 quad or a Ryzen 5 1600 quad.
I live in a room single room 425 sq ft efficiency and my PC will stay on 24/7. Since I will be living in the same room with it, it is important to keep the fan noise as less as possible.
The use I will be using it for is web app development. In addition, I will be using KVM to host my webserver guest and another guest for automated testing. All Linux, no Windows.
I would like to get Ryzen 5 1600....it's way more than what I need, but it would be future proof as browser technologies(like CSS color filters or service workers) get more intense.
However, reading reviews... the Ryzen 5 6 core 1600 seems to have a higher watt average both idle and on load(around 10-15 watts more) compared to the Ryzen 5 1400 quad core.
For this reason, I am reluctant to go for the 1600 6 core.
Would the 1600 6 core be placing a significant amount of heat compared to the 1400 in which the fan noise would be noticeable? I would prefer not hear the fan at all if possible while it is idle or under a small load.
To give an idea, my system that just died was a AMD phenom X3 65w and I could tell a difference in ambient fan noise when the computer was on(idle) vs when it was off.
The motherboard will be a AsRock Taichi(even though I don't game or overclock, I want the higher grade power components).
