Recommend Case + Noctura Fans for A10-7800 build & PSU
Posted: Thu Mar 26, 2015 8:15 pm
hey guys, you were recommended by logicalincriments as the go-to silent experts. just a FYI the APU and MOBO arent up for debate, the rest are.
i already have in mind on maxing out a case with all 5 fan slots (all 4-pin PWM) (-1 for the cpu heatsink) on my Asus A88X-PRO ATX FM2+ Motherboard (if you need references to its abilities) which has built-in auto controlled fan and cpu speeds
im currently upgrading from a prebuilt refurbished 5yo old Q8300 build which still gets the job done for the most part and rarely gets loud, except under heavy multitasking and video playback. choosing the 7800 because of the much lower TPD than the 7850k while still showing 1:1 performance in both gpu/cpu on various benchmark sites and plan on this build basically being a literal future proof build based on how i plan on use it and its massive upgrade from my current build.
all i need help with is optimizing its efficiency in both cooling and noise, changes based on your recommendations (within price points) are welcome
i was thinking about the Corsair Carbide Series 200R case, i dont care about frills but having filters is a MUST because of dust and it has the highest votes and praise plus its cheap.
also after i figure out the power consumption for the case fans ill want a recommendation for a Seasonic manufactured PSU (either stock or rebranded under a different company) that has an auto modulated fan speed based on consumption, most likely 300w+
im also deadset on getting Noctura fans because of their praise and having rubberized connections to reduce noise ,the stock brown colored ones are fine for me and also would take suggestions on a replacement heatsink for the AMD, as long as it comes with thermal paste preapplied and isnt ridiculously large
the idea of a CLC was very intriguing until upon research finding out that the coolant in them only lasts a few years at which point id rather spend that $70+ on 4 20$ Notura's
and for what its worth i like the idea of having a positive pressure case that forces air out of all the crevices where dust could find its way in
all advice welcome, thanks again
