(What you can use with video is lots of cores and threads - also heat producers! But, 4k probably demands more - someday I'll find out if 64GB is enough.)

Yours being quiet not surprising as I understand it from the Gen 7 chips (start of 2017) onward to now Gen 10 ... intel chips ran progressively hotter and thus progressively noisier fan noise
Getting Turbo Boost switcher to disable turbo boost helps but can still be audible more so on video editing but also audio as well the longer you are recording .. Just thought people should be aware of what they might be getting into ......
