Background: I am currently designing my first SFF gaming PC. This is supposed to be a secondary, air-cooled unit that I use for browsing while playing on my other PC, but that I also take with me and use for gaming on occasion.
I am trying to pick a CPU, but I am unsure
My current thoughts are:
But I found no comparisons between those regarding the temps, and I have no idea how important those temps would be anyway in a SFF. Currently planned case is Cooler Master MasterBox NR200P, if that's important.
Can anyone advise?
I am trying to pick a CPU, but I am unsure
- how important is it that I take a CPU with low temps, and
- how big the differences actually are between current CPUs.
My current thoughts are:
- Intel 13600KF: high value for money, but probably the hottest of the bunch.
- Intel 13600: lower wattage variant of the above, so I hope less heat.
- AMD Ryzen 5 7600: the I hope least hot of the pack.
