My wife's Peerless Assassin cooler still has that annoying fan noise at higher speeds but turns out the answer might be to just take out one of the fans? I was watching an LTT video today and they’d put one in the machine, but I noticed they only installed one of the fans, in the gap in the 2 towers. Reddit seems to agree? https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/1b5jmax/i_took_out_1_cpu_fan_from_peerless_assassin_120/?rdt=41514
@kwramm@mastodon.gamedev.place@sinbad should be fine. I have a similar cooler and it makes no real difference. The heat sink does 95% of the work. The fan is useful to get rid of heat build-ups when the CPU does some heavy lifting. For idle, fans can even be off with most modern CPUs if there's a decent heat sink on it.
And if the worst happens? Your motherboard will beep and then shut down to protect your CPU... but for that to happen you probably have to remove the entire heat sink or clog your case with full of cat hair
