He's looking to upgrade his PC, as he feels his performance over the years has tanked. He will mainly be using it for gaming, light video editing/music producing every now and then. Would like to hear some recommendations!

HammyTheHybrid got a reaction from Lurick in i3-6100 with stock heatsink maxing out at 57°C?
I have my fans set at the max in my case and its barely audible. People always make a big fuzz about their quietness but laptops are so loud compared to computer fans lmao

This is why you shouldn't underestimate stock coolers (Ok only Intel and Wraith).
You might have a case and environment that compliments good airflow too, good on you sir!

Nothing wrong with that. So long as it performs well and stays cool then you're fine. You might have extra airflow in the case to move hot air out faster compared to those who show higher temps or some other factors.

Yah, some fans *cough*Delta*cough* are like jet engines but most, especially 140mm fans, are pretty quiet even at full load.

Beefier cpus like quad core i5/i7's do have better stock coolers but not so much better that they'd be quieter than the smaller stock coolers used on i3's, celerons, or pentiums which are much easier to cool.
