silent pc quest

Your three HDDs arent loud?

>>58823607
They're not spinning most of the time

>>58823551
get rid of the AIO, go for an air cooler
go ssd
buy a quiet gpu that doesn't run hot but it powerful like a 1070
have a maximum of just 3 fans in your system, make sure they are noctua

>>58823649
I have 2 SSD's you retard.

>>58823658
Are they what's taking up the extra 900 watts that you need that PSU for?

>>58823688
Fuck off.

>>58823551
Why are your fans mounted like fucking garbage?

>>58823649
I have a 1080 in there, the fans don't spin at idle and even at load the three-slot cooler is fairly silent

I do have 2xSSD's, the two front fans are arctic cooling F14 as I said and fairly silent. I could replace the corsair one in the back (though it's not that bad at ~700 rpm, only useless at that speed maybe) and two that are mounted on the AIO cooler.

Read OP
>After replacing my loud crossfire cards
It used to power more graphics cards (and three more hard drives I moved to a NAS since then). Was overkill by ~200W even then though but I got it at the same price as a 1000W unit.

Supposedly it's more silent this way

Not sure if I'm convinced yet

>>58824278
It looks like it completely kills the airflow through the grille
Aren't those anti-vibration screw holes in those corsair fans?

>>58824595
not in the stock case fans.

I have this:
https://www.arctic.ac/eu_en/freezer-i32co.html
It keeps my 4690k under 50 celcius with passive cooling when im browsing or watching netflix or light gaming. In heavy games it spins up and cools well

>>58824799
Additional info.
It requires GOOD airflow. I do that with 3 140mm exhaust and a 200mm intake

>go ssd
yup, magnetic drives are loud af.
I still have a 2TB magnetic in my rig (films/music on it).
Everytime this thing speeds up my floor shakes and I startle from the noise.

>max 3 fans
thats what I thought all the time but my opinion changed.
We got a cutty edge VR Rig at work with two overclocked Pascal TitanX and i7-6800K.
It sits in a huge and basically empty case with 17(!) fans. (pic related, shit phone camera)
Each fan spins so slow you cannot hear this thing. It also runs 8°C cooler than stock TitanX cooler, this gives us the room for overclocking. The hardware guy did an excellent job on this.

>>58825279
that's a problem?

>>58825447
>17 fans
top kek

Those Arctic blocks are REALLY nice, I had an older version, whisper quiet.

into the trash it goes.

so many fans you can't see the mainboard
