Hi everyone,
I'm trying to plan a new build. Wanting to get the fastest cpu to "future proof myself" a bit and also scratch the itch for speed. Plan is to build a solid gaming rig that will last at least 5-7 years, plus allowing me an opportunity to try 4k gaming and/or possible coding in future. Biased towards Intel cpus.
I was dead set on getting i9-13900k along with an AIO cooler, but thanks due to this informative site, I'm reading that AIO coolers can fail due to leaks, etc. I don't really want to real with high maintenance repairs. So I'm having second thoughts, as air cooling seems more reliable.
So between the 13900k, 13700k, and 13600k, which cpu is the fastest one that can still be used with an air cooler?
Between the following air coolers: 1) Noctua NH-D15, 2) Peerless Assassin SE, and 3) be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4, BK022.... can either one cool the 13900k without throttling excessively? If not the 13900k, how about the 13700k, or the 13600k? Which air cooler would you recommend? Has anyone tried one of these air coolers on any or all of Intel 13th gen?
Thanks.
