Please help me for a new silent config

[Bokka]

Hello everyone!

I would have a couple of questions to ask:

1) Among these three video cards, which is the quietest (both in idle and in load)?

- Asus GTX GeForce 1060 GTX DUAL 1060 O3G
- GIGABYTE NVIDIA GeForce 1060 GTX-G1 gaming 3GD 3 GB GDDR5
- MSI GeForce 1060 GTX Gaming X 3G
- MSI GeForce GTX 1060 GT OCV1 6 6 GB DDR5



2) Since I'm assembling a PC that has to be absolutely silent, I do not want to hear, at most I can hear a slight hiss while playing, these components can be fine?

- I5 7600 CPU / I7 7700
- MSI Motherboard / ASUS / GIGABYTE H270
- Case Fractal Design R5 Black
- CPU Cooler: NOCTUA NH-D15 or NH-D15S
- Power Supply: Corsair VS650 CP9020098 EU


I do not intend to install more fans and I do not intend to do overclocking. Do you think I can get what I want?


Many thanks in advance!

Not with that PSU (Corsair VS650 CP9020098 EU), while the Noctua twin tower cooler is absolutely useless with a 65W CPU.

I guess you should re-balance your parts selection (AFAIK the ASUS Dual and MSI GT are not semi passive: check Steve's thread).

Welcome to SPCR.

As Luca mentioned, the big Noctua coolers are overkill for these CPUs. You can drop down to the 120mm Noctua towers or try the Scythe Kotetsu.

Also, I don't recommend building with Kaby Lake just now. Wait 2-3 months for the inevitable bugs/firmware updates to settle down.
