I like silent operation too, but I do the opposite, get a big case with 200 mm Noctua fans and double Noctua CPU cooler :) It runs very silently even with high end Ryzen. The heat as long as it's dissipated out of the case to keep the system cool doesn't bother me.

That doesn't provide a low-power solution, just a silent solution; you're still dissipating a lot of heat.

  Yes, but I don't need a low power solution. I need something that can compile things in reasonable time.

    I have a separate server for that, tucked away where I can't see it and I can easily vent the heat. Builds never slow down my desktop experience.

      With 12 core Ryzen 9 they never slow it down for me too :)

        You must not hit the disk much. Even with a fast m.2 I get crippling io waits.

        With recent Samsung NVMe it's pretty good. They are also releasing PCIe 4 Evo ones soon.
