Louqe Ghost S1 Build - Project Tiny

Saible · May 18, 2019

I'm interested in the same specs but I am worried about noise. From what I saw so far in reviews I guess the most silent options would to water cool the GPU and use the Noctua for the CPU? I want it to be absolut silent - could the S1 handle water-cooled GPU and CPU with 2 Top Hats, one on the bottom one on the top? Or would only GPU water-cooled + Noctua make it noiseless?

Thanks.

UPDATE:

Finally getting an update up, it's been awhile. This has been kind of a discontinuous build, I got the desktop built and didn't have a monitor for 3 months. I was using my TV as my monitor, holding out for a ultrawide monitor and seriously hindering my use of the desktop. I finally got me a 34" ultrawide and then took it to work to use as a folding rig during folding month.

Now that folding is over I took the time to take the computer apart, clean out all the dust, upgrade the CPU fan and swap in my sleeved cables. I also took the opportunity to replace all the thermal paste and also take apart and repaste the GPU after the folding. I'm sure 70C 24hrs a day for 34 days isn't the best on thermal paste. While cleaning the motherboard one of the letters of the graphics on the Nvme heatsink came off so I decided to roll with it and debadge it, I really like how it looks after the fact.

I'm still wanting to get the AIO GPU cooler posted somewhere on the first page of this log. The noise isn't actually that bad when gaming, I don't find it annoying with other ambient noise in the room but it could always be more quiet. Overall CPU stays cool never getting above 70-80C and the GPU runs around 70C.

Any ideas on moving forward is always appreciated!!
