Does AMD CPUs and GPUs really heats up fast and becomes noisy after some time?

[SNAR]

So far, this is what i have read/heard:

Amd processors and GPUs are Cheap but consumes lot of power. Heats up fast. Becomes noise over a certain period of time.

How much are these true?

AMD cpus just transfer heat better than Intel cpus due to the heatspreader design. You may just see it as "heat up faster" which is a good thing as you want the heat to transfer to the cpu cooler. The noise depends on the cpu cooler. The stock amd cpu cooler is noisy yes.

Those are stereotypes if you will. First AMD cpu's the FX line anyway run cooler than intel haswell. The difference in your power bill every month from using an amd card vs nvidia would probably be about a dollar or two depending on where you live. Becomes noisy over time? Not sure what you mean by that an nvidia card will become noisy if it gets caked with dust too. That said I would go with an intel cpu over an amd fx at this point, the amd cpus are getting a bit aged. But for gpus amd and nvidia have their highs and lows.

So if it heats up faster, that means it is transferring the heat faster? Then why does people complain about their AMD processors heating up faster?

Exactly what 12 year old Intel Fanboys would say, however it's partially correct.

It is a known fact that AMD GPU's usually have a slightly higher power consumption compared to the Nvidia counter parts. However your electricity bill will barely change, if you are a hungry user you will have to spend $10~$30 more per year if you use AMD GPU's. As for the heat again AMD GPU's are known to run slightly hotter than Nvidia GPU's and it is safe. I would say GTX GPU's are safe up to 85C and AMD GPU's are safe up to 90C. The fan noise really depends on the quality of cooler you are using on the GPU.

As for the CPU the FX 9000 series do get a lot hotter than Intel CPU's however the FX 8000 series or anything lower than that isn't a huge concern. The stock heat sink on intel and AMD are both noisy.

Don't believe everything your read/hear

At 100% load, AMD CPUs consume more wattage than Intel CPUs. At idle, power consumption seldom varies more than 6- to 8w. Interestingly enough, the AMD low-watt APUs (less than 15w) from the Kabini-Temash-Beema 'Cat Cores' are as efficient, if not more so, than Intel.

edit: I fergit ...

AMD's 'Big FX- Cores' like the Piledrivers and Steamrollers typically take a nice under-volt if you are so inclined. They will still consume more wattage than Intel at load, but if saving electricity is yo thang, works nicely.
