That annoying moment when you finish your silent new build and hear a hum… The joy when you realise it’s that quiet you’ve notice a hum from a synths PSU never noticed before. The “Wait, What! that’s not coming from the PC, where’s that coming from?” A quick swap of the brick and we’re all good. At first i thought it was the speaker monitors. It really is that quiet.
My new build has 4 fans in it. 1 in the BeQuiet PSU, 2 tower and 1 CPU… Noctua. I run dual monitors off the i7’s integrated graphics, no need for the extra card, we’re not gaming. It’s silent, I can’t hear them spin, you will at full load but I’m yet to have a project to get anywhere near that.
The 2 in the tower are tiny, purely because of the flat bed design, these draw heat away from the VRM sink, above the I/O panel, a very important twist in design, the flat bed has the I/O recessed and the fans sit perfectly to match the motherboards extra heat sink.
I’ve just noticed that you’ve got a Carillon Case. I’d forgotten all about them. I remember them when they were tied to Turnkey in London but once that went under I thought Carillon went with them. Nice to be reminded. A company for the list!
