Hello people.
edit:
Specs:
Case: Corsair Carbide Series 275Q Stock fans
Ram: G-skill flare-X 2x8gb CL14
GPU: GeForce RTX 3080 Phoenix
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2, 750W PSU (2-3 years old)
1xSamsung 970 nvme drive 500gb
1x ssd sata 250gb
2xssd 120gb
playing at 1440p 144hz on a PG279Q
Im just wondering if getting a 10700k was a mistake.
My old system was a ryzen 1700 oc to 3,7 ghz with a noctua nh-u12p, corsair 275q case with only stock fans (1 intake 120mm and one exhaust 120mm) and a 2070 gpu.
Got hold of a 3080 shockingly and I also wanted to upgrade the cpu before christmas.
The only heavy load i do on this thing is gaming and i'm starting to get cold feet about the 10700k because of how hot it gets with that noctua u12p. I thought the cooler was gonna handle it but i might have too low airflow in the case considering the GPU as well as the much higher power draw on the cpu. The case is hanging under my desk and its noticably more hot air coming out as well as the temps on the cpu gets to over 80 degree C when gaming. I havent done any overclocking but i guess the turbo gets quite high anyway.
How much difference will "downgrading" to a 5600x make in terms of how much airflow i need in the case? I also think that the u12p can handle the 5600x better.
So my options are buying a new cooler and case fans and get tons of hot air in the room or downgrading to 5600x, get about the same gaming performance right now (but uncertain in 2 years?) and stick to that case and cooler.
