Just finished building :D
Just finished building my new PC!
Posting here while EQ2 is updating... (yawn)
My new spec:
Athlon 64 4000+
Thermalright SI-120, Akasa 120mm fan (<18db)
BFG 7800 GTX OC (only 1, SLi next month, maybe)
2Gb Geil CL2 Ram
Asus A8N Premium (no north bridge fan! yay!)
250Gb SATA II Spinpoint (quiet)
Antec P180 case (looks like a refridgerator, but I like it)
Seasonic S12 500W (quiet)
The 4-pin ATX 12v cable is only just long enough to reach. Had to route it over the graphics card... going to get an extension as I'm concerned about over tensioning PSU cables.
VGA doesn't seem to do anything at all, so I have removed it for move convenient access.
Whole thing running fast and very quiet!
CPU temps 37C idle, 45C load
GPU 50 idle, not seen it above 60 yet but only benchmarked without looping so far
I'm chuffed

You're going to have a tough time going completely silent with a 7800 and a desktop hd. Can you really hear the Tri-Cool fan over the vid card fan and hd?Memran wrote:All set to low.
It definately the quietest PC I have used, but I don't want to hear it at all!
BTW, that's a nice, quiet rig there. Congrats.
