Where I live, temperatures during summer go above 30 degrees Celsius indoors. I currently have an FX-8320 that would fails to go beyond 3.5GHz once the core temp goes a little beyond 60. Moreover, with a 125W TDP processor, it was difficult to find a compact cooling solution that would fit my case (Corsair Carbide 100R). I am using an Antec A40 Pro with two Arctic F9 PST CO fans in push/pull to keep in cool. Moreover, I have 5 other 120mm case fans running, without which the CPU core temp hits 70. The FX 8320 stock cooler from Cooler Master was loud and really pathetic. So, i changed it.
All this is also highly taxing my PSU.
Presently, I am thinking of upgrading to the Ryzen 7 2700X that has a slightly lower TDP. I need to know how well the CPU performs under load. I will run it in stock settings, no OC, and use the stock cooler with an B350 board. Probably, I will get the Asus Prime B350-A.
Workloads include tons of photo editing in Lightroom, some work in Premiere Pro and Media Encoder. Moreover, for college assignments, I need to run some machine learning code written in Python. This often caused the core temp of the FX CPU to go beyond 65.
For a GPU, I got an RX480 8GB OC from Sapphire and 16GB of RAM.
Is the Wraith Prism sufficient for the 105W CPU, or should I for go for the Ryzen 2700 which runs has 65W.
