best quiet gaming pc image
Tommy
I bought a barebones PC from a no name company about 5 years ago and the noise made it impossible to use the computer for anything besides gaming with the volume turned up high to block the noise.
I'm looking into getting a new PC this Christmas and want to get the new Phenom processor. One of the concerns I have is that almost every review I read of the high end gaming computers says that with the additional power comes additional heat and that they're very loud.
Would a water cooled system always be quieter than an air cooled one? How are you supposed to evaluate ahead of time how quiet a system is before you buy it?
Answer
You can make almost anything quiet if you really want to. But it is going to cost.
The noisy components are the fans. Hard drives and optical drives can be noisy, but mainly it is the fans.
Water cooling will get rid of the CPU fan, but the case fan and the power supply fan are still going to be there. There are a lot of people who swear by it, but the idea of mixing water and electronics is too high risk for my taste.
Read the specs, look for the dB ratings of the component/fan. The lower the better. If comparing two fans make sure that they are equivalent. what fan speed is the noise measurement at, how many cubic ft/min? The higher the speed the more air it will move and the cooler your PC will be. But the noisier it will be too.
Make sure that your cables do not block the airflow. Ribbon cables poorly orientated can be a big air dam. That makes the air harder to move an the temperature controlled fans will spin faster to push the air around, making more noise.
Cheap fans are noisy, quiet fans are expensive. But remember that expensive fans are not necessarily quiet.
