Good day, gentlemen.
So, I have recently purchased pretty much all parts listed here, except the CPU cooler. Now, I would like to do whatever I can (within reason) to cool my CPU as efficiently as possible. The 7000 series tend to run and boost high and hot, by design.
- I take it that the Thermalright AXP90-X47 Full copper is the best <48mm cooler? I know it's not compatible with Asrock boards. But I still opted in for the Asrock board as it remains the best A620 board I could find. I should be able to file down the hex bolt of the cooler to get around the issue.
- I have seen talks about the stock fan of the X47 Full being quite loud. Is there any specific fan that I should buy and swap it with? It could potentially perform better.
- Are there any other fans I can add to the case that can make a meaningful difference? And where would they be placed?
I think that's all I can think of. As for the 4070, I am not worried at all. I know it runs efficiently and sips little power. Otherwise, if you have anything else to add regarding the build in general, then please do.
