Anyone with an R9 5900X and a single-fan Noctua cooler that can share his/her experience regarding temps and noise?
This cooler is not a typical vertical one but the fin stack and fan are parallel to the motherboard. It's handling a 3700X very well currently but I'd like to upgrade to a 5900X and don't know if I should also consider changing to a thicker cooler with two fans.
My case is well ventilated with six 120/140mm fans (3 intake, 3 exhaust). So will the C14S be enough? Will it work but be too noisy? (currently I use the silent profile in Bios and can't hear it, which is how I like it
)
