Very nice computer, its a Sparkle Calibre x580 right? Not a Gigabyte.
Btw the aftercooler is the best that you can find (Artic Accelero XTREME Plus), this graphic card is really powerfull and expensive too
Do you think that your PSU can handle a SLI of 580 or 460?

The case is really clean, a nice build.

You can also use a hoover to clean filters... its quick and efficace.

For silence, good temp and low consumption, you should upgrade your hdd to Green 2Tb.
(i use to sell my old hdd and stuff on ebay, and upgrade with brand new hardware).

Very impressive computer, About the noise, on my computer , i was planing to put a Seasonic X-Series 660W, but it wasnt avalaible so i bought the Enermax PRO87+ 600W which is at the same price (almost 150$/€) and as quiet, at idle, the fan works at 300RPM, so if you are looking for a great/silent PS...

If you have a free 3.5'' space, you can buy an Scythe Kaze Q , and then control all fans.

Btw, a great computer, try CPUID HWMonitorPro for fan control.

Really nice, nice house, nice hardware!

Is your projector noisy?
Can you project in 1080p?

Yes that kind of cooler is a must for very powerfull gpu.

Nice to know, thanks.

I don't ear my HDD, my OS is on my SSD (inaudible) and i use my 4 WD20EARS (i added one) for my movie/games/mp3 and they are very quiet, they are most of the time in sleepmode, but i can hardly ear the scratch of my hdd when i copy/past stuff for example. My GPU fan cover these scratch. I found a bi...

That's my CPU temps at idle : http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a475/justice9999/Capture-4.png But after couple of hours the temps if between 37 and 41 maximum. System Fan 1 & 2 are controlled by my rhéobus, and they are at minimum but CPIUD show them at 100%, its a bug. CPU fan is controlled by m...

Yes can we have more details about your GPU noise?

It will fit if they have no heatspeaders, dont worry about that.

Well, you should not buy a long DDR, actually i had to move the cpu' fan a little to the top to be able to put my DDR on the first slot. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21RS6KdnqmL.jpg Btw, this cooler is fantastic, at idle, it can run at 0 RPM ( 90 RPM in fact ), and the temps is still very g...

Hello guyz, a lot of great person on this forum gave me a tons of good advice to build a quiet computer, my specs : CPU : i5 2500K @ 4.5Ghz (TurboBoost enable) CPU Fan : Scythe Mugen 2 Mobo : MSI P67A-G45 RAM : 1x4go G.Skill Ripjaws GPU : GeForce GTX 460 OC, 1 Go, Gigabyte ( stock 715/1430/1800 oc t...

ok guyz, a friend of mine built my computer : CPU : i5 2500K 3.3Ghz CPU Fan : Scythe Mugen 2 Carte Mere : MSI P67A-G45 RAM : 1x4go G.Skill Ripjaws GPU : GeForce GTX 460 OC, 1 Go, Gigabyte SSD & HDD : SSD Vertex Series & 3xWD20EARS Case : Fractal Design R3 PSU : Enermax PRO87+ 600W Scythe Kaze Master...

Ok thats great, thanks for your advice, i will test my system asap, and see if i should buy this fan.

Hello guyz, i just bought all the pieces, i will build it next week : CPU : i5 2500K 3.3Ghz CPU Fan : Scythe MUGEN 2 Motherboard : MSI P67A-G45 (Rev. B3) RAM : DDR3 CORSAIR XMS3 - 4Go - PC10666 (1333 MHz) GPU : GeForce GTX 460 OC, 1 Go, Gigabyte SSD & HDD : SSD Vertex Series & 3xWD20EARS Case : Frac...

What about these motherbard , they contain an GPU+CPU, and the price is not that bad.

One of these + Lian Li Q08 , sound good no?

I also found these case mod , its usefull?

Ok guyz, thank you for all these information.
will keep you on touch.

The MSI N460GTX CYCLONE 1GD5/OC is quiet at idle, now during gaming, it wont be a problem.

I have 3 WD20EARS and 1 SSD, i will mostly use my SSD, now if its a problem, i will think of doing something.

The only problem with the Fractal R3 is HDD noise?

Thank you for these advice, i can find Stretch Magic here , i will buy it it hdd noise is really a problem.

Should i set up my fans in 5V or 12V ? 5V is quieter right?

ok, so in that case, i will probably go for an :

Antec Solo + NOCTUA NF-B9 + Scythe Slip Stream - 12 cm

I will change the Antec 12cm by the SlipStream fan.

i though i would be easier to built a quiet computer, and maybe it wont be quiet at all lol.

I hope it will !!!

lol, so with the Antec Solo, should i change some fan? how many of them? which model should i buy?

Thanks.

Ok thanks for tha advice, will see if hdd noise is a problem, but i will probably buy the Fractal R3.

It's not a problem for me, i dont care about these 30 pounds, its heavy because of all thse sound absorption material like you said.

Thank you for your answer guyz. The Gainward Phantom GTX 560 is only 10% faster than the 460. I just updated my config with price : CPU : i5 2500K 3.3Ghz (193.5€) CPU Fan : Scythe SCMG-2100 (40.5€) RAM : KINGSTON Hyper X Grey XMP X2-4Go- PC12800 (55€) GPU : MSI N460GTX CYCLONE 1GD5/OC (169€) Case : ...

Noise: Arctic Accelero Twin Turbo Pro is dead silent even if you push it to its max speed. You’ll be unable to hear it over your case fan or CPU Cooler; I can bet you on this one. Due to some BIOS limitation, you can’t push fan speed over 80% but I think pushing it further isn’t needed as temperatu...

Thanks for the Ram model, what about the case, Fractal R3 or Antec Solo?

Looks really nice, but a little tricky to assemble, and i wont be able to add some HDD on it, but i can travel with it for example.

How about dual Radeon 5770?

Its gonna cost me money, i maybe wont be able to sell them if i want to, and i dont think that 2xRadeon 5770 is quieter than 1xGTX 460.

I live in France. Thank you very much for your answer, the Radeon 5770 is not that powerfull , do you another quiet model who equal the GTX 460 ? About the CPU Fan, Newegg says that Scythe SCMG-2100 noise level is between 0 and 26.50 dBA , and the Noctua NH-U9B SE2 is at 18 dba , what do you think? ...
