Fan a little too loud
The performance is there and the integrated video card is more than enough for office use.
However, when no application is running, the processor fan is too audible. Can it be replaced?

However, when no application is running, the processor fan is too audible. Can it be replaced?
With a Ryzen 2600, it is necessary to update the BIOS of the motherboard, hence the extra cost of 23€ at LDLC,
Card bought to upgrade an old PC.
Used with a 1300X and a 2*8GB ddr4 3000 MHz kit. The setting of voltages and ram frequency in the bios is easily done.
There are only two ram slots, but that's enough for me for this PC.
