Hello,
A few years ago my Core I7 4770 was getting very hot consistently and, as recommended on this forum, I replaced the stock cooling fan for a Arctic Freezer 34 that worked wonders. It made the CPU work at less than half the temp it was working before and very silent at it.
A few days ago, I finally was able to get a whole new PC (after 9 years with the old one, what a champ of computer). This one with a Core I7 12700F. When I asked at the store if it was recommended to get a better CPU fan, they said they thought it wasn't needed since these new CPUs and stock fans are better regarding temperature management.
I don't have the PC for long and wasn't able to push it much but. As an example, when I use machine-learning photo noise-reduction software, I hear the fan kicking in and I monitor the CPU temperature: it gets around 70C to 80C from the baseline 35C on the few seconds it takes to get the job done.
So, I'm being a bit obsessive over this? Is this totally normal?
Either way, is it possible to switch the colling fans from the old to the new PC and vice-versa? Are they compatible with each other?
I'll donate the old PC in a few weeks, so I have to decide if it's worth going to the work of switching them before that.
Thanks in advance.
