Before I answer you, treat results coming from linked PurePC's CPU test as worse case scenarios. Goal of CPU testing is finding and showing such to increase differences between CPUs. In most games it would look better, so differences between CPUs would be lower. Just different for any other game, so...

I am not quite sure what they mean by adding the * and 60 fps. Clearly, I want higher fps than that. And exactly here may be the catch connected to CPU bottleneck topic. The thing with the CPU bottleneck is, in any game given CPU is able to deliver some number of frames - whatever the resolution. G...

I don't know how much of a difference, but there is such - even just look at the size of the cards. Ventus for sure won't be great. From my personal experience even tripple-fan 3060 can be dissapointing like 3060 Gigabyte Gaming OC - this thing was way hotter and louder than e.g. also tripple-fan AS...

Don't expect mentioned cards being quiet out-of-the-box - these are the cheap models, budget, so all about cutting corners to lower price. It means weaker cooling solution (higher temperatures and noise) plus low quality, so durability. From my experience with 3060 and similar power draw cards, you ...

Looking at specification only both V1 and Core 500 don't seem that bad in terms of capacity, but I would need to check some reviews in terms of any surprises, restrictions possibly not shown in specifications or not working great in real life. Define cases just give you something extra and crucial i...

There's no problem to build tiny computer in cases you proposed, but in general building computer of such size is like doing everything to make this pc louder. E.g. tiny cooler = more noise needed to cool CPU; small GPU = more noise to cool it. Just final effect may not end up satisfying. I doubt be...

I would start with that, if you want your computer being as quiet as possible, you want the biggest possible CPU and GPU coolers. ATX power supplies also tend to be quieter than SFX ones (some SFX-L being here middleground). Bigger PC case is also less likely than tiny one to increase temperatures o...

Let's start with your questions from first post: 1. You can upgrade your card for 4070 or 4070Ti without replacing your board and PSU. 2. Yes, your CPU will bottleneck such cards and resolution won't change it, there's no good way of calculating how much, but we can try to do it. Below example of ho...

Hello, Japanese Capacitor! It would be best if you typed all of the programs you will use - that would help recommend you best. Some examples could be… - Sublime Text , Visual Studio Code ,.. - various IDEs , interpreters and compilers - Blender 3D , FreeCAD , POV-Ray ,.. - Godot , Unreal Engine & ...

More than one year later, GN still don't test fans. Maybe they are busy people, but I would suspect this machinery turned out being too complicated for their trying hard to make an impression of being pro crew. Bad thing is, this machinery was funded by supporters... Luckily we have great Aris Mpitz...

Forum came back from the dead, so let's celebrate it with photos of my updated build I use for few months - maybe it will be the last build this old forum, forgotten, but great piece of history of quiet computing will ever see... https://i.ibb.co/SXWx2wm/K1.jpg https://i.ibb.co/p1WDPct/K2.jpg https:...

It would be best if you typed all of the programs you will use - that would help recommend you best. Then your budget. You could also link two or three prefered shops' sites. I just don't know how prices in euro countries compare to prices in polish zloty and if they are the same in Germany and Spai...

Bought components are fine, but I would think about planned ones: - you seem money concerned, so better have enough reasons to pay B650 Creator's quite high price besides just you being a creator. - given that it's first gen od DDR5 Ryzens, I would definitely go with ram confirmed on QVL list of cho...

Even the most expensive fans are not much from the perspective of how long they serve without giving reasons to upgrade (progress of fan market is depresingly slow). Even such fans are cheap compared to the cost of rest of the computer. And they determine your cooling and silence during all of this ...

Looks are the only thing which may sell this case and it's fine. I just don't like that aside from that it's just nothing special and doesn't even try to aim what Fractal used to aim: innovative and convenient engineering. It even doesn't have implemented Fractal's presented long ago objectively bet...

I don't know how it compares to FE, but I would expect it being somehow better. Not long ago I had an opportunity to test used 2070 Gaming - so similar heat load and dual-fan cooler, but previous gen. During Furmark card was cool (<70C) and to my taste satisfyingly quiet (if I remember well like ~15...

There are plenty of materials explaining CCDs, but instead of worrying about that I would wait for Raptor Lakes - then we will see what is better choice for you. If they will be competetive (I'm not into leaks and gossip stuff, but from what I know they will be comparable), it's worth to wait a litt...

It's a great place to start!

Not impressed. Fractal was never good at budget cases - they all have felt too much compromised. Like they were always trying hard to noticeably distinguish them from their flagship world leading awesomeness (to maybe justify paying extra for them). Garbage Focus; Define S with all of the dampening ...

Now I see what you mean. Thanks for uploading these pictures, because I would be too lazy to log here from other browsers :> Your slit seems to make sense, but the question is why nobody (from manufacturers) have never tried it (no sense to wonder). The problem with GPU's heat is mostly other (upper...

I can't see your images and I don't know what you mean by ,,slit exhaust". You mean this nowadays oldsql side panel grills for fan? I personally don't see a problem with GPU noise if you buy just higher tier, oversized models - these are quieter than I would wish for and even then can stay definitel...

I think that Noctua just wanted to have such thing in their offer and it being the best on that rather forgotten market. All to charge for it Noctua's money. Especially brand of such reputation aims to have the best in category. Looking at their recent moves it looks like they know it will be hard t...

We will see, but it looks like Gamers Nexus finally will start do do something seriously. For now everything they do in terms of testing is at best average, but I have to say that I can't wait for their fan testing.

I would say just "stylish thing", not a case. Azza is all about design and typical brand producing cheap RGB garbage and surprisingly-priced "stylish things".

To a point, I disagree. The 120x25mm fans I strapped onto a gfx card were whisper level audible at 500rpm when used as case fans. With the added resistance of the gfx card heat sink, they'd be louder at the same rpm. So, for over engineered solutions like the NF-A12's on a gfx card, 500rpm wouldn't...

Btw I checked dimensions of - if I'm not wrong - the secound biggest card on the market: 3090 Suprim. It's like 1,5 cm longer and 0,5 cm thicker than Gaming Z Trio from the photos. Still rather tiny compared to Noctua's monster :D Yeah. We'd also get back to the discussion on it'd be nice if gfx car...

It's big to the point of being absurdally funny :D On the other hand fitting such cooler with only 3070 feels to me opportunity wasted. I would like to see how these thing would handle 350W load of higher-end cards. This Gaming Z in photographed computer speeds up it's fans to 1400 rpm under quite h...

I knew this card from photos and videos, but this haven't prepared me even a little for seeing this thing live - it's size is just ridiculous :D I have these cards, didn't have an opportunity or time to play with one, but today I decided to take few photos nicely showing it in case of you guys getti...

Running the fan will never be quieter than no fan, but the thing is about silence - inaudibility. A lot of the fans (e.g. D15's ones) are able to run with inaudible speeds and then give you better temperature result than no fan. Today a lot of the fans, especially good or low-speed ones start from ~...

I mean I like to put my feet up these days and not have to sit at a desk and stare at a monitor. I have a fast PC I never use. I understand that some people just like to use laptops. E.g. I personally don't like Apple products, their snobby and kinda cheesy with it vibe or their macOS, but I find t...
