Posted: Tue Dec 12, 2006 8:15 am
Hi everyone,
I’m New here, this is my first post.
I would like to thanks very one here for the information on silent computing.
After reading many great posts from this forum I have made my self a quiet PC, like to know what you think about it and suggest improvement
Spec:
Case - Antec P180 Black
CPU - Pentium 4 D Presler 915 @ 3.15G
MB - Gigabyte GA965P – DS4 F6
RAM - Corsair 1GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C5 TwinX (2x512MB)
VGA - Asus 7950GT 512MB @ 650mhz/1554mhz
PSU - Corsair 520W HX
HD - Western Digital Caviar SE 250Gb
DVD - Lite-on DVD-RW
TIM - Arctic Sliver 5
Misc. - EPS 8 pin Extension & Arcticlean
Cooling:
Case - 3x Antec Tri-cool 120 Fans:
- Rear vent fan @ medium
- Front Top & Middle fans @ low
- Top Vent open
- Middle & lower inner doors are now removed
CPU - Scythe Ninja rev. B, AS5 with Scythe stock fan @ Variable
MB - Stock passive heat sinks, AS5 with the logo plates removed
VGA - Zalman VF-900, AS5, fan @ 3/10
Temperatures:
Ambient - 22C
CPU - Idle 35C, Load 59C (Dual Prime95 @ 4th hour)
MB - Idle 34C, Load 35C
VGA - Idle 40C, Load 61C (GRAW @MAX 1440x900 2hours)
HD - Idle 40C, Load 44C
Noise level:
The Tri-cool fan at rear is the dominant audible thing at the moment, will add soft mounting when they arrive hope will dampen more sound.
Conclusion:
I am really happy with this setup, very quiet, thanks SPCR. As to improvements I think within the next 2 months I will replace all the fans to Nexus or Noctua and move to C2D within the next 4 months as it is faster and runs cooler, maybe even add more Ram to the system. Cheers
