i am planing to build new pc at October, after win 8.1 release. I don't play games, i mostly need powerful SSD 1)Motheboard BOXDH87RL - i want as much Intel components in my PC. So H87 sounds like best chose for home user. 2)Memory BLT2K8G3D1608ET3LX0 - i like that it use low voltage 1.35 - so it wi...

I can use both ATX or mATX, don't care much. Also don't care to may more for power supply. the only thing i car - is buzzle noise.

I usually keep my fanless cases open but if i can archive really low power consumption i can go for closed case.

I am building silent passive PC. Haswell, 530ssd, 2 dims, MB inter, video from haswell.

Seasonic fanless looks like good chose, which one will make less buzzle noise 400W 460W or 520W, which version is better for my needs?

Power consumption comparison: http://xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/core-i7-870_14.html#sect0 It's the same as a S775 quad core CPU. Cooling a 95W TDP CPU passively is not possible, 45W yes, 65W maybe, 95W+ no. Using one of the aforementioned coolers, Mugen2 or IFX you will need a fan. But a 12c...

i am not sure if it will work for me, but i will try. 860 should be colder. But why Mugen 2? The test I have seen with same fan, IFX-14 was better, mugen 2 was 2nd.

My poker supply is Topower 570NF (passive). I don't really need the top gfx card for my needs but since i am upgrading i have to chose a good one As learning i found that fastest passive cards are 9800GT, but as i understood they wont be able to work with on fully passive cooling PC even with open c...

I am using mobo for i7 860.. looks like they all got passive cooling, but are the all electrical noise free (especially when you move your mouse on USB=1000Hz)

Is Asus P7P55D deluxe a good one? Or MSI P55-GD80 \ 65? Are there difference in noise level?

Is Thermalright IFX-14 totally best or are there any better alternatives?
