Hello.

My girlfriend said that I had to buy a white case so it wouldn't look ugly in the room...? so then i just continued with painting stuff white.

At first it was loud, I didn't care about that untill I was sitting up at night browsing and watching movies, and it got more and more annoying.
So i started changing out fans, but still loud.
Then I found out that it was my xfx psu that made most noise, so I switched to one with zero rpm mode (doesn't even start the fan under gaming).
Then i could hear the stock cpu fan, so it had to go.
The gpu fans is alot quieter than I was expecting, I can bearly hear them (fans at 34% at idle but still very silent at load)
Case fans are going at 530rpm and cpu fan at 650rpm I can`t hear them.

Generally if you want it to be quiet you reduce the amount of fans. Just saying.

Thank you Statik :) Specs are in first comment now.

 

I use low noise adapters.

The only fans i can hear is the gpu fans, but it`s not much.

Fanspankentastic build mate! ;) B)

Just to note, though, your camera was a tad over exposed in a couple of those pics. I just noticed a lot of white and thought "What's that?". Then I saw the last pic and thought "Oh! It's a CPU air cooler, right!". LOL

Actually (referencing a Jay'sTwoCent's vid) having more fans in a system can, to a point, reduce noise because each fan can spin slower to move the same amount of air.

The year is 20XX. Everyone plays Fox at TAS levels of perfection. Because of this, the winner of a match depends solely on port priority. The RPS metagame has evolved to ridiculous levels due to it being the only remaining factor to decide matches.

Only Abate, Axe, and Wobbles can save us.

Looks nice, just I personally dislike corsair fans to noisy for me even with quite series fans.
