You wont be gaming 12 hours , the CPU will not work full load when you are not gaming or processing hard...
I vote for intel regardless , either i7 8700K or the 10 cores i9 .
Because if you chose not to OC anytime , you will have better performance than AMD. Also , Threadripper Motherboards are very expensive , alot more than X299 ($100 more for same specs)
"You wont be gaming 12 hours"...exept I will. I'm taking this year off work and study because of personal reasons and I've decided because of this to jump head deep into gaming and streaming.
I would go intel but everybody is saying that they're hotter than the sun and that without liquid cooling its bad
well if you want to OC AMD you will need Water cooling as well. the threadripper is 180watts ... Thats double the Ryzen TDP and 8700K TDP
Actually, the Intel is harder to oc. That's cuz of the Tim usage between the die and heat spreader.
Both the Intel and AMD cpu require beefy coolers.
And for real oc, experts and reviewers recommend a monoblock cooling(cools both vrm and cpu, reduces thermal throttling, like I said before l) . Water blocks and aio just give a marginal improvement over a d15 or r1.
And running a cpu oc'ed for 12 hrs is not an issue as long as the Temps are within safe limits. Like gaming or encoding, if its at 60s, no issue.
