I understand that the main difference between i5-11600 vs i5-11600K is the base frequency: 2.8GHz vs 3.90 GHz, which will result TDP 65V vs 125W. (also there is a minor diff in turbo freq. but that is out of topic)
Context
- My Typical Load: at 90% of the time I do simple text editing in my developer tools like VS Code, and also browsing, nothing fancy, no games...
- I will use the built in intel graphics 750 in UHD resolution 60Hz.
- (I hope this is out of topic, just for the sake of I am wrong: my planned motherboard is ASUS Prime Z590 )
My dilemma is the following:
I would like to my computer as silent as it could be, I mean the CPU cooler should run the lowest speed. Being impatient, at the same time I would not be stuck with the 2.8 GHz with 90% of my time, what is "My Typical Load" with average 10% CPU load...
Question
I would pick the i5-11600K with its 3.8GHz base freq, if I could be sure that in "My Typical Load" the CPU cooler will use the same low speed as it would be with i5-11600's 2.8GHz base freq?
