Hello, so in light of recent events, I've been looking to give my old pc a very small upgrade so I at least can stop playing games like a cave man, I bought an RX 570 at a reasonable 40$ and now im looking for a new CPU.
My current CPU is a Pentium G3250, which may seem pathetical but it has gotten me through hard times (surprisingly), my natural upgrade for taking into consideration my GPU would be a 4th gen i5, here's where it gets tricky:
My instant pick after reviewing the CPUs of that generation was the i5 4570S, the problem here is that i can't seem to find one in my city, what i DID find was is the Non "S" version of it, normally i would've just purchased it out the blue, but then i thought, can I cool this thing?
My current CPU Fan is a very weak CoolerMaster one, it resembles a normal Intel stock cooler, just slightly more slient. Which after a brief Google search, is rated to cool 65w TDP max, the Pentium's TDP is 51w iirc, so it's fine, the i5 4570S would be on the line since its TDP is 65w, however the Non S model's TDP is 80 something.
So there's my doubt, would I be risking thermal throttling and whatever else not by buying the Non S model? Will it be just fine? Should I keep looking for the S model?
