cooling an i7 skylake and gtx 980 quietly.
What's the quietest high end fan I can get for my new pc build. i'm making it myself so any advice is helpfull.

Do you mean a CPU cooler? Right now the Ninja 4 is the best on SPCR's list:

Take a look at the rest on that list and compare what may fit in with your particular system.

Will the ninja 4 match up with an i7 skylake?
would i run it on low medium or high?

All Socket 115x coolers have the same bolt pattern so any socket 1155 cooler will equally fit socket 1151. In short, yes it will work for Skylake.
Run it off the motherboard CPU fan header and then use the motherboards fan control to regulate the fan speed. Asus appears best so far in terms of fan control on Skylake. What motherboard were you intending to use?

I'm not sure what motherboard yet. I'd like to load it with 32 gigs of ram. I don't want to overclock but I don't want to go to cheap on the motherboard and miss out on something.
Any suggestions for an i7 skylake motherboard?

Hi.
You will get better advice with just one build thread, instead of multiple threads in different sub categories.

+1. Separate threads = like the blind guys describing an elephant.xan_user wrote:Hi.

What about a quiet power supply? I want around 700+ watts.
Re: cooling an i7 skylake and gtx 980 quietly.
Unless you plan to have two or more GTX 980's and plan to OC, 700W is over kill. Your stressed load power with a stock clocked i7-6700K + GTX 980 + ( mobo + 32GB RAM + SSD + HDD + case fans) is approximately 91W + 165W + 50W = 306W and about 260W with heavy gaming load. Ideally, you'd want a PSU that's inaudible over the gfx card at 260-300W. For fanned PSUs, that's generally a 450-550W class Gold or Platinum unit.DavetheChamp wrote:What about a quiet power supply?

Be Quiet! Straight Power 10, Corsair RMx, EVGA Supernova P2 come to mind.

Right, my son has an overclocked 980ti and a 3rd gen i5 and it draws [~346W]. <--- Corrected wattage

..and this was probably W (AC) from the wall rather than W (DC) from the supply.NeilBlanchard wrote:Right, my son has an overclocked 980ti and a 3rd gen i5 and it draws under 300W, if I am remembering correctly.

Yes, he measured it with my Kill-A-Watt meter. Since he has a 80 Plus Gold PSU BeQuiet Dark Power Pro 11 (1000W !!), that means the actual DC consumption is roughly 10% less, or ~311W.CA_Steve wrote:..and this was probably W (AC) from the wall rather than W (DC) from the supply.NeilBlanchard wrote:Right, my son has an overclocked 980ti and a 3rd gen i5 and it ~346W.

Why, Neil, why in the world the P11 1000W? It's probably among the worst 1000W high end units in the market!
