need avice on a complete Athlon 64 system
Posted: Tue Apr 26, 2005 2:39 pm
Hi all!
I need advice for buildding a silent pc.
It will be an audio workstation (recording and mixing).
I need silence for recording with microphones.
Here is my idea:
case: textorm 974mb or older textorm case (69U6 or 6A19, less nice but maybe better)
http://www.achetezfacile.com/rayon-boit ... xtorm.html
It has 2 120mm fans and is affordable
other ideas?
fanbus: sunbeam rheobus3 (can operate 4 fans, can stop them, and is only 15 euros)
http://www.ldlc.fr/critiques/PB00017804_1.html
motherboard: ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe (nforce4 SLI) with Zalman ZM-NB47J chipset heatsink
I Know I don't need such a card, but customers are very happy with it,
it's undervoltable and cool n' quiet (even if some people have trouble with
cooln'quiet on this board - I need help on this)
http://www.achetezfacile.com/asus-a8n-s ... -97509.htm
Is zalman heatsink enough?
graphic card: something pci-x, silent and not too bad (I now own an old
radeon ve 32mo and my pentium3 is at full load when some action appears onscreen!)
what about Gigabyte Radeon X300 pcie - 128Mo ?
http://www.achetezfacile.com/gigabyte-r ... 99289.html
processor: athlon 64 s939 90nm. But witch one is the coolest? (do I wait for 1Mo cache ones?)
CPU cooling: scythe NCU2005
hdd silencer (optional): scyhte sbx1000 silent box
http://www.scythe.co.jp/en/cooler/silentbox.htmor another hdd box (need help)
hier a test in germain:
http://www.dirkvader.de/frame.php?site= ... dd-roundup
HDD: samasung spinpoint 160Go that I already own
Ram: 1Go I think, but witch one? I believe the asus has DDR2 support.
Intersresting? and what brand? do I need ram heatsink?
ANTEC phantom 350W active PSU (the european version is an active one)
RME pci audiocard that I own
My question is: will it work?
My idea is to slow down the fans when recording and speed them when I don't need absolut silence any more.
THANKS

ps:
I have thought earlier buying a pentium M system, but new pcix aopen card doesn't seem to be s478 compatible and PM cpu are too pricey. For info, a scythe member told me that NCU2005 was aopen pentium M motherboard (old one) compatible, at least when the board is horizontal. I apreciated such a kind of online support (it seems they bought the aopen card just for my request!!!)
