Hello forum,
I´m currently using a Z210 for music production, photo post processing & some gaming. I´m quite happy with it but due to increasing complexity of the projects, I will be needing more computing power within the near future. As the computing demands scale well over multiple cores, I´m looking for a used Z420 or Z620 with a E5-2670 or similar.
While the Z620 will be giving me superior upgrade options in the future, I need something quiet. The current Z210 is, after some insulation of the door, dead quiet.
Question:
Given the same components, will Z420 or the Z620 be the most quiet option? How would they compare to the Z210?
Apart the specs, are there any other differences between them worth knowing about? The Z620 seems to be a lot more premium which I guess is a good thing. Z420, on the other hand, seem to be a lot more common which might help finding spare parts in the unlikely event of hardware issues.
Current setup:
Z210, GTX1070 (0rpm fans on idle), 16GB, E3-1270, 2xEVO 850 SSD
Future setup:
Z420 or Z620, GTX1070 (0rpm fans on idle), 32 GB, E5-2670, 2xEVO 850 SSD
