VirtualSMC vs. FakeSMC - CPU: i9 9900k, MB: Z390 Ultra

I have installed Hackintosh on to my System, but the CPU cooler is obviously louder then on Windows.

I am using right now VirtualSMC.kext, but since FakeSMC provides temperture measurement tools, and VirtualSMC not, i asked my self if that might be a hint for my loud cooler?

  1. My question, has somebody tried maybe both and even compared them? And is FakeSMC mayber less noisy?
  2. Is it enought to just mount efi partition, and delete the VirtualSMC.kext and put instead FakeSMC.kexts ? Without any fancy kext installation tool, or terminal comands, just replace files and restart?

My System:

Mainboard: Gigabyte Aorus Z390 Ultra

CPU: Intel i9 9900k

CPU Cooler: BeQuiet! Dark Rock 4

GPU: Vega 64

Ram: 2x16GB Corsair 3200

The Tutorial i have used - https://github.com/cmer/gigabyte-z390-aorus-master-hackintosh/blob/master/STEP_BY_STEP.md

Realy works like a charm besides, the more noisy cooler, which i bought because it is extra quietly.

I asked first at tonymac's forum, but they delteted the post, because I haven't used their tool, really disgustig.. I really hope to never use their tools, and I hope here the informations freedom is more respected.
