What standard cooler on Precision 3680 Tower?
I'm configuring a Precision 3680 tower with i5-14600 CPU and no discrete graphics. The recommended 300W PSU should be enough with this.
I would have liked to upgrade to a better CPU cooler, but this is not possible without also upgrading to a 500W PSU, which (according to specs in owner's manual) only differs from the standard 300W PSU by having additional connectors for a graphics card.
Is Dell using the boxed cooler (RM-1, see pic) that Intel ships with the i5-14600? Or are they using one of their own coolers?
Any comments on performance and noise are welcome.

It's too bad Dell won't allow a CPU cooler upgrade as a stand-alone option.
