Does somebody use both, current Intel and AMD tower PCs?

Last tower I purchased, and am typing this on, was purchased 10 yr ago 
last month.  Best feature I opted for was liquid cooling and a case
designed for it.

A large radiator is mounted to the top of the case (a vented area) and
cooled by 2 low speed 120 mm fans and are essentially silent.

If the cpu is forced artificially to basically 100% usage at overclocked
4.2 GHz on all 6 cores and 6 hyperthreads the cpu temps rise to little
over 50C.  Normally they run at 33-35C.  Under the artificial load, the 
fans speed up a bit, to a level I can hear, but still fairly low.
