Should I choose passive or active for my i7 4790k cpu to cool down even further? stock cooler without overclocking as far as I know. Its in the Windows power management window, says passive "slows down cpu before increasing fan speed" and active is "increase fan speed before slowing down processor" which one is more effective to reduce the heat of my CPU? Its Haswell so its known for its temp issues, My room is in fairly acceptable temperature not too hot not too cool either, and I clean my dust inside the case every few months.
My goal is to play games like Witcher 3, upcoming Cyberpunk2077 in pretty low in game graphics settings but in higher frame rate somewhere like in 40-50fps if possible. I will be reducing everything to low or very low except texture quality to Medium, AA is set to FXAA from NVIDIA control panel and turned off in game, within some Detail Setting to mid if there is any.
I'm playing games since years now with CPU reduced from that management panel, created different profile for all games I play and its pain in the neck, I plan to "let it go" a bit but while protecting the cpu lifespan still. For games like The Division 2 I literally played in a potato graphics with 1280x720p 25fps AND IT STILL reached up to 55c'ish. What makes Haswell cpus overheat that bad even on YouTube watching a 720p60 video increases to 47-52c. This may sound normal but abnormal to me and bothers me so much.
Interesting fact is I can render 1080p30 video in Sony Vegas pro 15 in a constant 46c with a 28min video. Rendering takes like 14 minute and NEVER reaches above the 46c, with the power management profile enabled (min %10 - max %35) is this normal? I mean its good for me but I thought rendering content is a heavier task than playing games. so there is that I found it interesting.
should I choose Passive for rendering (1080p30)
should I choose Active for rendering (1080p30)
should I choose Passive for gaming
should I choose Active for gaming
I'm completely unable to upgrade my pc hardware especially nowadays with the virus going on. My specs below:
4790K 4.0Ghz with stock air cooler (HT turned off from BIOS as its increases heat in large levels)
16GB DDR3 RAM dual channel
GTX 1050 Ti 4GB with fan speed increased to %52 to further reduce GPU heat whenever possible, possibly more but I'm kinda worried about fan lifespan
Windows 10
Thank you, any tips and ideas are welcome
