My silent build

Post by Fosu » Sat Jul 21, 2007 6:41 am

First of all; I'm sorry for my bad english. :D

I have read this forum about year now and I've read many advices for a silent build. Now I've my silent build ready. Its not soundless but its not noisy either. I can sleep with it in same room. I could say that I'm satisfied for it. :wink:
Only thing that I need is undervolting the cpu. My board doesn't support it... :?

The setup:


E4300 @Stock, w/ Scythe Mine + Nexus 120@600rpm
Abit AB9
2GB DDR2
C3D X1950Pro w/ Accelero S1
Samsung T166 320GB
Bequiet E5-450W
Antec Solo w/ Nexus 120@600rpm

Pics:

Temps:

Idle:
E4300 both cores 39C (Core Temp 0.95)
1950Pro 47C (ATI Tool)

Load:
E4300 both cores 57C (Core Temp 0.95, Orthos)
1950Pro 71C (ATI Tool, Artifacts scanning)

Room temp is about 25C. Sometimes it can go even 29C.

Other grab:

In future, I think of putting Acoustic dampening and I've to get somekind of airfilter to front. And it is not out of question if I'm going to buy Ninja for cpu. :)

First of all...
Welcome to SPCR!

The red fan gives you away... I can see you bought at least some of the parts from verkkokauppa. Going to pick one for myself tomorrow...

Nice clean build out of solid components, what's not to like.

Btw, where did you buy the Accelero S1?

Thanks!
Yea, almost everything from Verkkokauppa. :lol:

That Accelero S1 came with Club 3D X1950Pro, but in Finland, Coolputer sells it about 20 euro.

Edit. And I see you have VF-900. I had that in this same system before i bought that 1950Pro. It was at 5v then and still it was the noisiest part of my computer... If I remember right, S1 doesn't go for 7600-series but S2 goes.

That's also why my VF-900 is passive...

Very nice build. I like it. I want red fan. You're cabling is very need. I love the Nexuses, the Orange colour is wonderful. I like the soft mounting you've done.

Too badmy favourite retailer, who sold 120mm Nexuses 12,50€ in Finland stopped business. Their webshop is closed and they are having sellout now that company is quitting. Damnet. 12,50€ from nexus were cheap, since in Verkkokauppa they cost like 21 to 22€'s.

Oh, yes, I like your computer desk. Very clean. Well done job.

Thanks again!

I bought my Nexuses from Verkkokauppa when those cost something like 13€. Now those cost 15€ each. I like them really much.
And the desk... It's clean because I cleaned it before I took a picture. If you mean that. :P
