Hello. So!
With my motherboard being on its last legs and the CPU slowly but surely dying, I figured that it's time for an upgrade.
The problem is deciding between 3600x or 9600k.
Now I heard both of them run hot, the important question is, which one runs, well, less hot. I've been having thermal issues since the dawn of time, so if I've got to make a choice on which sun I want in my rig, I'd prefer the cooler one.
2nd, I'm using an H100i V1, will the brackets fit AM4 & 1151? Saw threads of people saying it's fine, and saw some saying that there are slight issues, but none had a concrete answer, so I'd like to know for certain on whether it will or will not fit.
At the end I've got no preference, both gaming performance is roughly the same, AMD would likely be better for multi tasking as it has more cores. But due to the total price being exactly the same I'd prefer the cooler option.
Thanks!
