- money is not an issue
- never will use it for gaming, just excel and opening 200+ tabs on chrome.
- worried if I get the i9, the arctic freezer II 360 aio, plus four additional 140mm fans won’t be able to cool the 14900. I want idle speeds to be under 40c and never go above 60c when using it.
- I understand that I don’t even need an i7 or i9, I do it because I wanna have to PC for the next ten years and have no problems and because I can. “Futureproofing for these basic functions”
- will I notice any differences between the 14900 and 14700 when opening chrome? Will have 64gb of ram.
What is this obsession with Temperatures here? Anything below around or below 80° heck even 90 would be ok…
You can force a low idle Temp by increasing the fan speed, but it will be noisy…
