Re: Looking for feedback on silent PC build
After some more consideration and research, I think I might go with an Asus H97 Pro after all. I wouldn't mind controlling the fans in software, in fact, I would probably perfer it. But how do the fans behave outside Windows then ? Do they rev up when booting or ? Lastly, how is fan xpert 3 ? I read...

Re: Looking for feedback on silent PC build
Thank you for all the info and advice on the case fans guys - as you suggest I think I will wait and judge the stock fans by myself. I think I will stick with the NH-U14s mostly because it is easily available and I have good experiece with their coolers :-) Regarding the mobo I think i'll go for an ...

Re: Looking for feedback on silent PC build
Alright, thanks alot guys for your feedback. Good point about the H97 I hadn't thought about that. I don't think many vendors have a Kotetsu in Denmark but I will check it out for sure :) I'll have to do a little research on the fractal case fans - I didn't know that these needed to be changed or ho...

I have saved up some money now, however, so I can finally complete my silent PC build and I figured ...

Re: Looking for feedback on new silent PC build
Thanks for the great feedback everyone :) I will go for the ASRock H87 Pro4 instead and the core i5. The only reason I was considering the i7 is because my needs change a lot in terms of programming and simulations. You make some good points though and overall I also believe that the i5 will suit my...

Re: Looking for feedback on new silent PC build
Welcome to SPCR. Thanks :) Overall, it looks like a solid build. What are your applications? That will influence our feedback. I would say: 30% gaming (many different games, recently bought bf4) 60% downloading, watching movies, browsing and other everyday stuff 10% use of heavier programs like Mat...

I was very happy to find this site since it offers some great insight when building silent PCs. I must admit though, I have no experience so I was...
