You raise an interesting point. I've been considering upgrading to threadripper from an older Xeon system but am put off by the cooling requirements (cpu, video, system) and how negative that will be on background noise.
- washadjeffmad 6y agoThreadripper with a be quiet! Dark Rock or Noctua cooler will run almost silently. With two GPUs, 8x DIMMs, and a X520-DA2, my home system pulls 380W under full load and is whisper quiet. That said, if you don't need very high core counts, the PCIe lanes, or the memory bandwidth, I'd build on Zen2 Ryzen instead.

The bonus is, that the fewer cores are clocker higher, becuase they still have the same temperature budget as the higher models.
- wyclif 6y agoThe YT link above to the L1 Techs build is like that. They wanted to optimize for quiet, so if you're like that too you should watch that video.
