Hello! i need your help again. I noticed a weird wistle in one pc. It comes from the back fan hole, but it´s not produced by the fan. I know because if i put my ear againts the fan i can´t hear the wistle :S. But if i put my hand covering the hole the wistle stops for a while, but starts comming fro...

The new supernova g3.
I heard the 850W is kinda noisy, but... what about the 650w or lower options?
Thank you.

Nothing special. 6700k+thermalright macho + msi 480. I want a silent case for that. I was looking for the fractal design s, wich is only at 70€, but just when i was going to buy it i read something about its "noisy" fans, i don´t know if its true. They are NOT noisy, in absolute terms: some silence...

Wich one is "quieter" or at least virtually quieter?
I heard good things about fractal cases, but also bad things about the gp 14 fans.
So maybe the corsair is a better option due to the fans?
Another mainstream case for quieter as posible build?
Thank you.

I´m going to buy one of those but i don´t know wich one is better.
Obviously the macho x2 has two fans, but i don´t know if this make it better.

thank you!

Mmmm under load the gpu fans.

Idle, the cpu fan and a weird low pitch humming from the psu that goes through the case frame...

The cpu goes 70+ celsius at some point.
With the "normal" plan, it only reaches 60ºC in summer and with heavy cpu games and eventualy only rare peaks.

With the silent option, now in winter, 70+... xd

It comes down to fans and fan controls, and the graphics card for noise, most of the time. I have the same case and the only thing that would make it better is a closed front and larger intakes on the sides of the front, for indirect sound path. Like the R5 / Define S, but this is not a big deal. S...

Let's set a baseline... How are you controlling the cooler's fans? Maybe you haven't optimized the settings? What's the mobo make/model? This is the 6700K? Are you overclocking/overvolting? How much? 6700k no oc. The cryorig fan has a min of 700 rpm, but i got a little bad fan, so its min is 750+ r...

The S is the R5... with: a third front fan slot which you most likely don't need without: - fan controller - which you probably won't use as the mobo fan control is generally better - Optical drive - drive cages. Otherwise, the same. Go for the size and features you want and don't sweat the noise t...

other stuff... C: max GPU length 12.4", max CPU cooler height 168-170mm (windowed vs non-), will want a modular PSU as the area is shared with drive cage. With drive cage max length recommended is 175mm. w/o cage 228mm. S: max GPU 16.7", cooler 180mm, PSU 300mm unless bottom mounted fan which short...

window: impact is generally minimal...but depends on the case and mfgr. Fractal does a decent job. The Define S and C are good choices. Is there a big difference between define s and c in noise levels? I like define c the most, because it´s "compact" design. But i only saw reviews of the define s. ...

For about the same price.
I don´t know, but i think the cryorig is a little "noisy", so i was wondering if there is something out there that has the same performarce but being quiter.

Thank you!

Hehe sorry, forgot it.
It´s atx.

Nope, i don´t need an optical drive but it´s not a problem if the case has a bay.

Mm i don´t know xd, i think the same hardware i have at the moment. 6700k, a cryorig h5 (wich i think i should change the fans i know...) and a 1060, although i´ll probably change the gpu soon. Also i use only a big ssd, i don´t have any hdd. I´m not going to put a custom liquid cool system or somet...

Hello i was reading some post in the forum but i can´t decide something that fits my needs. My budget is around 80-90 €. First of all, window or not? Does it make a noticeable difference in noise terms? And i choose some options, like fractal define s, fractal define c, cooler master silencio 550......
