U already did a memtest?

I have used both in a clients build. That system is pretty darn quiet with the cpu fan not connected. I havent felt much resonance.

I did it a while ago for a temp card (6200 TC) which goes around my clients when their videocard is on a RMA tour.

It really works.

Why not a i7 8xx they have a lower TDP -> meaning easier cooling and therefore more quiet cooling.

Do you think this method would be likely to work with larger gaps in the solder? I managed to stab my nvidia card with a small screwdriver when trying to take the cooler apart, resulting in a scrape through 6 tracks. 2 tracks are broken completely... I might be clutching at straws a bit but does an...

What PSU do you have?

Most probably its your mobo or ram. There are also some usb driver errors. Can u disable the USB3 controller? And then run OCCT?

Still looking at this build. It looks great. But i was wondering why you still have that CM fan in use (the 120 at the back). Because those fans arent that quiet even at low voltages. You probably can turn that D14 so that the airflow goes up and let the 200mm do the exhausting.

Scythe S-Flex or Gentle Typhoon. For PSU's you need a ball bearing (because they normally are mounted horizontally).

A Nexus fan at 5v is inaudible. Why not put a fan on the heatsink and create some airflow. It should drastically improve the lifetime of your components (comparing to a no airflow situation).

Update. Well, i ended up wanting a window in my system for showoff and not to disrupt the airflow. The top compartiment of this system is inaudible so window should - theorically - not make the system louder. So went designing a window. This is how i want the design: http://i404.photobucket.com/alb...

it could be your drivers too. First try that.

Some passive Nvidia/Ati card will work. You're not doing that gpu intensive jobs.

Is a GT 1850 quiet at 7v? Probably. How do you know it will be getting 7v? Are you going to manually set the voltage?! It will probably spin faster than necessary much of the time, when it isn't spinning fast enough the other. It's not like manually setting the speed on a CPU fan where there are se...

No. No operating fan is silent.

Whatever.

Is a GT 1850 quiet at 7v?

Temp sensors are always inaccurate. I removed them because they just ruin cable management.

My cpu was 15 degrees off and my gpu was 30 degrees off. I had both mounted on top of the heatsink (as close as possible to the gpu and cpu).

1800RPm GT sounds quite loud. But i will go look in for s-flex.

They are quite expensive (20 euro's a piece. Price of a noctua). GT 1450 is 15 euro. Is that also a good replacement fan?

Hello, After listening in a evening to my pc i discoverd my PSU was the source of the noise of my pc. I was wondering what the best fan is as a replacement fan for my Corsair CX400w. Scythe Slipstream 1200 or Slipstream 1600. I probably will use my pc close to max power (Q6600, HD5770 [8600gt gets o...

You'll probably cool somekind of 95w cpu? I think the mugen with its stock fan at low speed might be enough.

What do you hear? The sound of air flowing through the grills?

You might use a shroud/fan housing on the rad like this:

Case
Shroud
Rad
Fans

Someone managed to squeeze a TRUE on a 5870. But i dont know at all.

Given that you are aiming for a reasonably low noise system but not super-quiet, the 5870 Vapor-X card might be quiet enough for you. Otherwise, for aftermarket coolers, you might want to search out any of the following: - Thermalright Trad 2 GTX + VRM R3/R4 combo - Thermalright Spitfire + VRM R3/R...

I have a Antec 300 and love it. It's an amazing case for the price. So much room in such a small size. I can't say I have used the P180 mini but I don't care too. I am so happy with my 300. I have a antec P180 Mini and love it. Blablablah. Worthless argument. Not to offend you but you have to have ...

In my opinion a silent is a system that is inaudible within a certain distance or a system thats not distracting. I found out that a {call a component which has a fan} fan that's ramping up is distracting. I like a noise which is always the same so i use a hardware controller. Software is something ...

65w can be passive cooled by a Ninja so i wouldnt be worried. Just get a 65w cpu which has the most performance

From my experiences you can better rplace these drives: 5. Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST3160318AS 160GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive $37.99 6.

Thats not normal.

Maybe a capacitor is doing weird?

Is that OCZ PSU silent?
