I got my Silent PC up & running. Antec P183 i7-860 Noctua NH-U12P SE2 ASUS P7P55D 4GB, 1.35V VelociRaptor 300GB Seagate Baracuda 500GB Gigabyte GT9800 Silent SeaSonic X-650W Gold Pioneer Blu-ray writer Windows 7 Professional 64-bit All is good but the humming from the two P183's fans that I don't wa...

Nice replies. Thanks.

My idea about low voltage was based on i7-850 and its recommended 1.5V

I thought, OK, with 1.35V I'll be really on safe side and let my CPU be relaxed. No overclocking.

That's where I'm coming from originally.

I see that low voltage memory is not as popular as regular. At least on some online stores, based on the number of reviews. I refer to low voltage as 1.35V and regular as 1.5V or 1.65V Is there any reason why would one go with higher voltage? My choice would be 1.35V, but wonder about any back draws...

Is anyone using this card?

Happy with it?

Thanks

If the money is not the problem, is it P or H then?

What makes H55 and H57 be cheaper then P55?

Assuming you can live with the processor choices

They take i7, too.

What do you think about new H55 and H57 motherboards?

From silence perspective, they have integrated video, one thing less to worry about.
They seem to be cheaper then P bros.

Do you think that the integrated video will be sufficient for an average user?
I'm excluding gamers here certainly.

I guess it has to have it...

Noctua NH-U12P SE2 - Is this a good one (silence + good cooling)?

Thanks

I found those two to add:

- GIGABYTE GV-N96TSL-1GI GeForce 9600 GT
- GIGABYTE GV-N98TSL-1GI GeForce 9800 GT

Anyone using them?

Thanks

Does i7-860 has to have cooling with a fan?

Would you be worried if fanless cooling is used (no water)?

Motherboard will be some ASUS P7P55D...

Thanks

By no games you mean that you`re not interested in any games bundled with the card? I mean no games that require top-knock cards. I still need decent graphic. It's just that this particular card seems to be out of stock almost everywhere which tells me it's not being made anymore, and I feel bit du...

Hi,

As the subject says: what would be your decent (better) alternative to ASUS EN9600GT SILENT card?

Something newish, fanless, dual DVI... no games...

Thanks

Thanks very much. Well, Antec matches Antec, right? Both can be purchased for less then $250 as a package (plus tax). No, $80 is not a problem at all, just uncertainty seeking clarification. The good thing is that no mistake can be made between the two. I'll figure it out... somehow. Back to motherb...

Interesting, thanks.

P183
i7-860
Intel SSD
Silent Graphic Card (ASUS GT9600)

I guess with X-650, the only fans would be the one on CPU (unless I get passive cooling), and whatever happens with P183 itself.

There is still that Nexus...

I sure need less power then any of those two:

- Seasonic X-650
- Antec CP-850

so would go with the lower one (650) as the 850 makes me feel "overkill".

Yet the X-650 is $80 more in Canada.

Silence seems to be almost the same.

So... Is X-650 worth of $80 more?

The case is P183.

Thanks

Are there any objections to having this SSD (G2) opposed to i.e. VelociRaptor?

Size is not an issue as this drive would be boot/app drive only. Price is more than good.

Thanks

Thanks. I changed my mind a bit about configuration. I'm losing quite a bit of time with re-visiting. Switched to P183. Will probably start with one drive only and no RAID. I've been using P4 @ 1.9 with 10 SCSI Seagate for probably 5 years and had no trouble. I use backup software that makes an imag...

I abandoned the idea of SOLO because of that piano black. Can't stand it. Gun black, white, or gray is fine. Therefore I'm looking into the three Antec cases, of that Performance series: P180, P182, P183. I read review articles here at SPCR, and so far I figured that P182 has better cable management...

Thanks for reply.

RAID is for redundancy.

Power supply - I found this to be silent one based on reviews, I guess I could replace it with Nexus Value 430.
I just wanted to be sure a PC won't lack power if I ever throw more HDDs into it.

Hello, I need a new PC which I want to be really quiet. I came up with this configuration: Case - Antec SOLO or ??? Power Supply - Seasonic M12D 850W CPU - i7-860 CPU Cooler - ??? Motherboard - P7P55 WS Supercomputer Memory - 4 GB - I guess any decent brand will work Graphic card - ASUS EN9600GT SIL...
