I need a silent PC!

[Pavilion]

I have a pc that I built, I used to be an iMac user(it was so silent you can't hear anything) then I sold it and built a PC I started with a T4 for the CPU cooling and 4 cooler master fans. The sound is like a JET then I replaced the CPU cooler with a Coolermaster liquid cooling ML240L now it's more two JET Planes instead of one.

 

what is the solution that I can do to make this PC Silent should I reduce the fans?

maybe 1 intake and 1 outtake?

any brand? I heard about Noctua but some people wrote reviews about this product is changed and now it's made in China ( they don't recommend it)

First check whether the fan speed  is set to be high always and also set some stages when the RPM of the fan increases

Noctua is still awesome long as you don't mind shit-brown

I did my computer fans settings is set to silent form the motherboard BIOS, also I'm using the Power Saver Mode form the Motherboard just to keep it a bit better.

Yes, I don't mind the color, as long as it's a silent PC.

Lower fan speeds and perhaps lower clocks to go along with it.

 

I saw the LTT video where he goes through what people bought and he showed a black noctua fan if that's an issue.

 

Myself I don't care much for silence as I have a server whine behind me right now and a noisy fish tanks, so my gaming rig is the least of my concerns.

 

edit: get a suite of proper 3rd party system monitoring and drop the fan speeds as low as possible along with pump speed until temps become an issue

Use a case that has sound dampening... like some of the fractal design or nanoxia.

Okay, this is going to be a long answer.

 

1) Ditch water cooling if you want silent, get a giant air heatsink like the Noctua NH-D15S or dark rock 3 pro

2) Don't rely on the silent configs in your system, those are useless and never works well. Manually set the RPM to whatever rotation suits your ears.

3) I'm not sure if you game on your computer or not, if you do, get a graphics card that has the biggest heatsink you can find. 

4) Replace all your hardrives with SSDs

5) Likely the last thing you will need to do, your PSU. Either suck it up and buy a fanless model or be ready to mod it out with a known brand name fan to keep the noise away by hooking it up to your motherboard.

 

My ideal fan speed is 600RPM if you're interested.

Get big and overkill air cooler heatsinks and big fans with slow rpms.

Which mobo and have you checked that fans actually follow setting? If you are using 3pin fans on older mobos, PWM profiles won't work (mainly Gigabyte boards up to latest gen).

First determine which components are too noisy. You can try to isolate the noise by stopping fans with your hands or starting the system without hdd's plugged in to identify the culprit.
