Temps vs. Noise?

[Jogostar]

Hello Folks!

 

Would you rather have higher tempos and less noise.

Or lower temps, but higher noise?

 

Personally I'm all for silence.

 

Thanks!

How about neither?

Balance is key

I'll only let my gpu go up to 70 degrees then the fan ramps up.

I don't care if my PC sounds like a jet engine, prefer lower temps.

I let my computer run warm in preference for silence.

For an R4 with plugged vents I get really good thermals though. Processor undervolted and only clocked at 4ghz. CPU fans never go above 25% and gpu never goes above 50% speed.

You know there are easier ways.

As for a proper answer, you can get passive coolers for GPU/CPU/PSU. So absolute silence.

yeah, but you would need airflow in your case, so you need atleast onw intake fan anyway.

You could for something like Silent Wings.

I keep it ice cold with the AC on when im gaming and my gpu fans are at 85-90% at 63c. I barely hear the fans due to my surround sound system blasting anyway. Lower temps equal better OC and/or longer life.

You must love AMD. Oh wait, they have both high temperatures and high noise. *Ba dum ts*

If you get a good quality cooler you can have both

Longevity, temps are key to keeping your CPU safe.

I try to compromise as less of heat as possible without having any noise bothering me (I try to keep my PC as dead-silent as possible)

[StormtrooperStu]

With a GTX 580, overclocked 8350 & a HAF 912 quiet was never an option for me.

 

Lucky that when I game and the get engine starts up I have my headphones on and then it is silent.

 

Unfortunately, the pc is in the lounge so the family have to turn the TV up.

[LogicalDrm]

There's middleway which means not so much OC but both lower noise and cooler temps. I've set mine so that with closed headphones and gaming I can't hear mainly GPU and with idle I can't be bothered by either.

[coen113]

my 7870xt runs hot and loud, does that count?

[JR1911]

I'm quite allergic to noise so I try to get as silent rig as possible and then lower temps as much as possible without sacrificing silence.

With reference cards, yes.

[gigglerump]

Just get both with Noctua!
