Posted September 19, 2015 Is http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4NLdhM a good quiet system build? Are the listed parts quiet in the build? Is it necessary to get the aftermarket cooler listed (the case has very limited airflow). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 19, 2015 looks good except get this psu instead its cheaper and better http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550gts3x so youre saying that a vsm 550 with semi modularity and all japanese capacitors is better than a non modular xfx unit which gets very loud under load is better for a quiet build?

Posted September 19, 2015 Not to sure about the gpu choice the XFX isn't the quietest cooler out there and a less heat producing card like a 970 would probably be better for silence. An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

Posted September 19, 2015 so youre saying that a vsm 550 with semi modularity and all japanese capacitors is better than a non modular xfx unit which gets very loud under load is better for a quiet build? i dont know how quiet or load they are, but the xfx is a higher quality psu, and is made by seasonic Spoiler My system is the Dell Inspiron 15 5559 Microsoft Signature Edition The Austrailian king of LTT said that I'm awesome and a funny guy. the greatest psu list known to man DDR3 ram guide i got 477 posts in my first 30 days on LinusTechTips.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 19, 2015 i dont know how quiet or load they are, but the xfx is a higher quality psu, and is made by seasonic so is the coolermaster one, they are in the same tier, and xfx ts units are very loud under load.

Posted September 19, 2015 so is the coolermaster one, they are in the same tier, and xfx ts units are very loud under load.

Posted September 19, 2015 ok you got me with the noise since i dont know the difference and with the modularity I believe it's a louder XFX unit. Could be wrong. They have loud and silent units.

Posted September 19, 2015 Fyi that build and all the other suggestions won't actually be very quiet. i5 stock coolers are damn quiet. Surprised by this myself when @ and I built a system with one. Inaudible under max loud. Same goes for the rest of the system (Gigabyte GTX 960 dual fan card, Seasonic S12 PSU which was also silent and had a running fan). I made a suggestion to use an EVGA 550W GS. I own one of these myself and can vouch for their silence. As for the XFX 290 I haven't personally owned one but many seem to say they are quiet until a certain load. |PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.

Well the intel stock coolers are quite while idle but as soon as it spins up it gets loud. Power supplies are normally loud. I haven't found any cheap ones that are quiet because they all have junk fans in them but IDK about the seasonic one. The case fans that have been added also are not PWM so they're not going to be quiet.

The case fans that have been added also are not PWM so they're not going to be quiet. I did say under max load it was silent. The stock coolers on i5s and i7s have a bit of copper in there making them cool quite decently. The thing never saw more than 65C on any core, averaging 60C under load. GPU fans were the loudest thing and we know the Gigabyte makes some damn silent fans. @ can agree as he was there building it with me. I think the Antec Earthwatts is a cheap PSU that is decently quiet AFAIK? |PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.

Posted September 19, 2015 This is better http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ppwDRB^^^this please don't get a 970, get a 390. I don't know about the gigabyte version, but it will be better than the 290.

I've personally only heard good things about this GPU. The only issue's I heard about the gigabyte versions were for the 390x's but non on the 390's.

Posted September 20, 2015 ok, completely different definitions of quiet then Something tells me you have not used the stock cooler on an i5 4460 before... I am a silence obsessed freak.
