Re: Gonna buy a 3900x which is the MOST silent fan for it?
Get the D15-AM4, and buy a pair of NF A12x25 PWM's to replace the 140's it comes with. Install them on a LNA each and run them around 20%. It will be next to silent, with great performance and no clicking. You're not going to get better than that on air. If that doesn't work then it's water / AIO f...

Re: Gonna buy a 3900x which is the MOST silent fan for it?
Hi, so the thing has been for a while now... what do we know?
I think i've read 3200mhz with cl14 is ideal, or is it 3600mhz with 16cl?
In terms of fan, do we have any temps tests and to see if there will not be problems fitting a certain ram+fan+mobo+case combos?

Re: Gonna buy a 3900x which is the MOST silent fan for it?
The R4 can fit up to 170mm according to fractal, but when i had the R4 it can certainly fit much higher, probably 190mm+, it will fit any tower on the market. Btw, before giving away my R4 to a friend i mounted a NH-U14S and had a case fan on the side and had no issues, that said i dont recommend u...

Re: Gonna buy a 3900x which is the MOST silent fan for it?
According to Fractal the R4 will take a CPU cooler up to 170mm tall (as long as no side-fan is installed). The Noctua NH-U12A is 158mm tall; the NH-D15 comes in at 165mm. So the NH D15 will be insanely close? add in the mobo space to that 165... I just dont know because on this chart the 12A isnt e...

Gonna buy a 3900x which is the MOST silent fan for it?
I am confused, does Noctua support the socket yet?
which is the most silent fan? I will be making music so the smallest fan noise drives me nuts
I have a fraktal define r4 case so im worried maybe the mammoth sized noctua one doesnt fit?

Re: Finally bought the define R4. Still not happy with noise
That setup is an already very powerful setup for next gen gaming, so im pretty impressed. What would be quieter, the passive PSU with the extra front fan on the R4, or the hybrid one? considering the case fan is a constant noise. Also, are the 2 default fans from the R4 worth replacing for other qui...

I will need to check about "LN and ULN 3pin adapter that are resistors to slower the fans." cos I have no idea about that, I've only seen classic 3 pin ones so far.

Re: Finally bought the define R4. Still not happy with noise
It's not the GPU. With my old GPU, the exact same rumble noise was present. This GPU is pretty silent during idle I reckon. I've used SpeedFan to bring down the CPU cooller to 0% for some seconds. I've figured out the CPU fan is the fan noise that im hearing the most. When I set it to 0%, the remain...

Re: Finally bought the define R4. Still not happy with noise
"Low rumble oscillating noise" could be if you have a couple or more harddrives that vibrate in slightly different rythms, where they harmonise every few seconds or so making it more discernable. If that might be the case, try loosening the drive screws(the ones with the big flat heads) a bit in ca...

So I finally bought it, replaced my old NXZT which had had some ugly vibration noises going plus the fans. Powered up the system on the R4. It's definitely more silent now, and the super annoying vibration noise is gone, but im still hearing the low rumble oscillating noise. A lot quieter now, but i...

Re: Fractal Design Define R4 launches
Feeling a need for a HDD led would mostly come from habit really. It would be flashing pretty constantly in many systems too, and all would be well. Get an SSD or fix the broken system to avoid long waits. Even the power led is pretty redundant, but too many would complain about that one missing. I...

Re: Fractal Design Define R4 launches
Sometimes you open a program, it gets stuck and you dont know if its still loading or if the program has frozen. No hdd led = retarded imo. OK, but a lot of software doesn't have high HDD load anyway and with SSDs the HDD loading time is very short so the HDD LED becomes less relevant in knowing wh...

Im considering buying this on the near future.
To anyone that owns it already: Is the problem of bad-toxic-like-smell from the dampening foam materials still a problem? I remember a lot of people complaining about it being intolerabe in earlier releases of the case.
