What windows setting? There is not even an OS installed on it yet :-). I am just sitting and about to install it. I didn't say they are not nice, but their fanless psu:s are not silent! And I am there with all new components, and I don't seem to be the only one. They were nice on the mail, but I can...

Serously dude :roll: :D I am sitting with bare bones mobo, only cpu + ram + 2x950Pro attached to it, not even connected to chassi. Coil whine starts 5 seconds after the mobo starts, it does not go even through the post. No overclock or anything special done :-). Gigabyte gaming 7 mobo in question, n...

eI just got 520W fanless from seasonic (old model) and the unit is not silent. There is buzzing comming out of it (coil whine) that is louder then my Noctua DH15 (one fan only). The support guy from Seasonic I had mail correspondence with told me over mail that they were updated and should not resul...

Thanks for explanations. Is there any chance you could do it in a YT video,, with a demonstration before and after? Maybe someone could donate a noisy part, I could donate the silicone or whatever the paint thing is :). If you can convince somebody to do&upload the video, I'm all in; I even have th...

How do you apply it? Small paint brush (if coming in bottle; don't forget to get the remover/thinner), or directly from the spray can. Typical painting guide applies: apply a couple of thin layers instead of a thick one. Cover the problem part completely, especially between the part and the PCB(a s...

Has anyone tested this case? Thinking between this one and Fractal Design R2 XL. I like the looks and price of Fractal case more, but Nanoxia seems technically better case in regard to sound dampening.

Just red it. Seems to be a bit more power hungry than current gtx980 180W.

Coil/capacitor whine is a relatively well studied phenomenon; it can be controlled during manufacturing phase(or later, with warranty issues) with RTV Silicone or conformal coating. But like any extra step during manufacturing, in the race to the bottom, the extra will be the first eliminated. Hi l...

Yeah, dudes, I am quite aware this is about silent PCs, and I promise I am the one who hates noise most of you all. All my PCs ever have been pretty much not audible while still (relatively) powerful machines when it comes to prestanda, and that long before there were such niceties as UEFI and curve...

I did some more research on both ASRock and Asus mobos and downloaded manuals. As I see it, Asus offers the usual control of fans as found on their gaming cards, with sliders curve controls etc just as ASRock does. I must say that Asus manual is much, much better looking and more professional than A...

Thank you for your avswers, I am really not looking intwo sli setups, I am fine with just one gfx card. I will run only one monitor, not VR gear either and I don't game much either, just ocassional FPS & Starcraft for fun :). ASUS P10S WS ATX S-1151 I am not sure this motherboard offers ASUS usual f...

Yesterday I happened to find 2 950s pro $60 below the price each; someone has returned them back, and it felt like an offer I can't refuse, so I am now owner of two of those expensive bubblegum sticks. Now I need to pair them with a competent mobo, which means probably something from z170 line, but ...

I still haven't purchased a new PSU, but I am still thinking about getting Seasonic fanless 520W unit. I did a research on Youtube and found few videos where people have recorded coil whine. I also found some discussion on the web where a person tried to RMA his PSU because of the noise it produced,...

Sorry, there is no 990Tii (at least I don't know of), it is going to be 980gtx ti from evga which does turn off it's fans based on temp. Those times I game I will anyway game with headphones, but usually I am not gaming, so most of the time it will not be so hot. Furthermore I plan on running X on b...

I have thoughts of getting two smaller fanless PSUs instead of one bigger. Seasonic 520W is enough for my needs, but I just wonder how abut 2x250 or 2x300, maybe there would be less stress on PSUs if work is divided between them, and thus less heat produced. It's just thoughts. For the system it is ...

Why would you buy GTX 670 in year 2016? Unless you are migrating it from an old system of course. I don't see reason to go for 1TB evo disk either. 512 gig 950 Pro is more than enough for the OS and 1TB for storage and backup is probably not enough. Personally I would rather put in 2x3TB Sata HDDs a...

Just a crazy thought I had since long: is it possible to combine to low-power (silent) PSUs into one bigger? After some research on the webb, it seems that the idea has been already tested, and there seem to be different solutions on the market, most notably a connector called add2psu and a lian-li ...

Yeah, I saw, thanks for informative posts!

Ok, I think I will give it a try, and if it does not work as expected I guess I can replace it for something more conventional.Thanks for informative post.

I am into buyin one of those, but as I read few reviews I understand that many users have experienced their units to emit high pitch background noise. There is discussion about the issue in techpowerup review of the psu, as well as on youtube (recording provided), and as I understand even the unit s...

I think it will be fine, thanks. I have another question, as I research before the purchase, it seems that Seasonic have issues with background noice, coil wine, there seem to be several people posting on youtube and different review sites about the high-pitched noise coming out of the PSU. There wa...

I have ditched Enermax for Seasonic 520W simply because Enermax seems to be rare product here in Sweden. Shop I am ordering from other components already has Seasonic one, so I am going for it. When it comes ot other fans cancelling PSU fan; well there really will be very few fans. One on Noctua D15...

Point with fanless psu is to have one less fan. PSU fans are usually the most audible ones, at least they have been in the past. For the CPU it is going to be very low rpm, with big heat sink, either noctua dh14 or dh15. For the case it is eventually going to be very low rpm fans as well, if any. I ...

Ok, thanks a lot on input! I just posted a question about what PSU to for this system in another section, but you gave me a clue. I am looking at Enermax Digifanless 550W, and was wondering if it will be enough. As I read from an review online EVGA GTX980Ti sc+ peaks at 240W, so I suppose you are co...

I am in process of building a new machine and am tempted to try a fanless PSU. I am looking at Enermax Digifanless 550W, and wonder if it is going to be enough? I don't plan to put in 2nd (or 3rd and 4th) graphic card in, ever, so it is mostly cpu + gpu load. I am going with 32Gig ram + 2 M.2 drives...

Hello guys, I am putting together a new machine and need some advice to choose best mobo. I have decided to go with Z170 chipset (6700K cpu), air cooling (noctua D15) and 32 gig of HyperX Fury at 2666 Mhz. So far I have been looking at three mobos: MSI M9 Ack ASUS Z170-WS Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 ...

Thanks for all the usefull input and links. It is quite a lot of reading to be done. I forgott to say that I am a linux person, so things should rather work well with lmsensors and conky :-). Ok, I do run windows occasionally, mostly for games. To answer the question, why I want water cooling. Well,...

Thx for the link. I just looked through article, and I wonder about this one:

"Our limited experience with water cooling told us the pump would be a huge challenge to silence."

Is this general rule? What is your experience?

Hi guys, I am about to build new system once new skylake cpus and mobos are out, and I am thinking about watercooling. I want high prestanda gaming rigg but as silent as its possible to get such machine silent. I have build many quiet systems before, but I never used watercooling. I wonder if it is ...

Hello, I am just trying to find some stable overclock for my system and am getting some bit confusing reults: I am running q9550 on xfx 360i ultra, with 2 gig 2.0 ram ("nvidia" - ocz) I have been testing for a while now, and I have found that system is not gonna cut it more then 3.8 ghz, no matter h...
