Hi,
Im just fresh here, reason for registering is that i build me a new computer aimed to be silent last week here is the stats and all comments and advice is welcome:
AMD 64x2 4400, 2G RAM, 2xWD Caviar 250GB
ASUS EN6800GT Silent
PSU Hiper type P 580 W 120mm + 80mm fans
Coolermaster centurion case
3xNoctua 120mm fans 8db/800rpm
Artic cooling 64 PRO
Dual boot Vista 64 and Ubuntu
Current placement i have 1 front fan and one side fan blowing in and rear fan + PSU blowing out.
I have not yet decided if i really need and whant the side fan, main reason for it is to blow air on the graphics card (that uses an extra PCI slot for air (in/out?)
The system is really cool CPU and system aimed at 40C from BIOS and keeps their even under load (3DMARK05 and calc PI)
I can hear (bearly) sound from the system but its very constant - main source of sound now is the HDD that is not shielded in any way.
Must say that i just love the noctua fan and the HIPER PSU.
Please comment or advice.
Newbee going silent
