Upgrading 2 systems
Posted: Mon Jul 20, 2015 9:37 am
Hello everyone.
First of all I want to thank everyone in advance for the help you are going to give me.
So the thing is I have 2 PC with cases I've started to dislike and some things I'll like to change for better and more silent performance.
First system:
- Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0Ghz cooled by Noctua NH-D15 (dual fan)
- Asus Maximus VII Hero
- Kingston HyperX Fury Black DDR3 1600MHz 16GB 2x8GB CL10
- Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 Gaming G1 WindForce OC 4GB GDDR5
- Seagate SSHD 2TB SATA 3
- Nox Urano TX 850W
- Zalman Fatal1ty FC-ZE1 Computer Case (removed HDD cage to fit GPU)
- Case fans: the ones supplied with the case (2x80mm front intake 1x120mm rear exhaust)
This system is used for "high eng" gaming, internet browsing, small and simple videogame creation and photo and video editing. I want to change the case as I don't like how thing fit in this case. I like Fractal's Define S. I want to add some aditional fans to the case for better airflow and cooling performance as I like to test different OC settings with this PC.
Second system:
- AMD A10-7850K 3.7Ghz with stock cooler
- AsRock FM2A88X Extreme6+
- G.Skill Sniper DDR3 1866 PC3-14900 8GB 2x4GB CL9
- Asus GeForce GTX 650 Ti DirectCU II 1GB GDDR5
- Seagate SSHD 1TB SATA 3
- Be Quiet! BQT-P6-430W-PRO
- NOX Saphira case
- Case fans: 3x NOX Kniks 120mm (2 intakes: front and side; 1 exhaust: rear)
This system is used for internet browsing and gaming. I want to change the case for aesthetic as it's lying down on one of it's side panels because it doesn't fit well in the furniture we have now. I am looking for a cube type case (GF doesn't want an HTPC one) and the one she currently likes is the Cooler Master HAF XB EVO. For this system I'm am also looking for a not very expensive but silent and efficient CPU cooler as the one it has now make more sound than a plane during takeoff. I would also like to fit enough fans in this system so that it runs as cool as possible.
I plan on installing fans and SSHD using antivibration mount systems to lower the sound even more.
For more reference I live in Spain (pretty hot ambient temps on summer) and use to buy at Alternate or PCComponentes. I'm willing to buy from other website/shops.
EDIT UPDATE: I´ve been searching arround the internet but coudn't find any but I'll like to see if I can find a cube case under 30cm in height for the 2nd system. The case needs good front intake and rear exhaust. I know ATX mobos are 30.5CM in length, but maybe it can be a case where the mobo is lying down on it's back instead of hanging from the side of the case
