The AMD stock coolers weren’t very noisy, though not silent. The outcome was still manageable. Deciding whether it would annoy me or not. If it doesn’t, there’s no strong reason against using it. They’re affordable. But if they’re excessively loud, I might opt for a tray version and add extra components for quieter operation—a possibly more powerful revC model. A 5-port cooler seems promising. I’m unsure if a 4-port unit can run quietly at 1000rpm or less. The 12700 definitely stands out as a potential future CPU choice. There could be a case for the 58003d since I mostly play games, but a 12700 paired with a solid DDR4 B series board might offer better overall value.
