    PCSPECIALIST Is this spec a quiet PC?

    Thanks, I appreciate that. Given the above specification, which liquid cooler would you recommend then? What I do not understand is the wattage listed. For example, what is the difference between 120W and 250W? Also, what is the point of RGB, that is just non-functional decoration, correct? I...

    Okay, I get what you mean, so this case is best for liquid coolers. I read somewhere that liquid coolers break more easily. I had a liquid cooled PC from PCSpecialist a few years ago and it failed after a year of working and the harddisks were ruined which costs thousands to fix. So I am...

    Based on all the feedback, I am almost ready with my PC selection for running Linux. I use my PC mostly for programming and video editing. For the programming, I need to run virtual devices, which take quite a bit of memory and computer power. I choose AMD because that works best for Linux and I...

    They also have the "Be Quiet" brand. I wonder which of the two is better, the "Be Quiet" or the "Define 7"? Does anyone have experience with either of these two cases?

    Thanks, that is helpful. Interesting about AMD vs Intel chips. My laptop with the (mobile) i7 is super quiet though. At work I have a Dell PC with an Intel processor which is also fairly quiet. In the past, all my PC Specialist PCs were actually much louder. I also recently tried a HP Envy...

    Hi, okay, thanks, I want the AMD video processor because AMD is better supported on Linux. In terms of processor cooling, what is the best (quiet) solution? Sometimes you see these enormous heatsinks in some PCs, which seem to help? Is the AMD Ryzen better in terms of sound proofing?

    PCSPECIALIST Is this spec a quiet PC?

    I currently use a laptop which is almost okay. It is quite, but slightly too slow and has bit too memory (12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1255U with 32 MB and basic intel graphics). The good think of the laptop is that it is quiet. I just want something slightly more powerful with a reasonable...

    Thanks for the quick reply. I mostly use this for: 1) programming, including using virtual devices. 2) video rendering I use it for a regular 60 Hz monitor (DP and HDMI) I don't want to go much over this budget (this comes to £1500 including vat).

    I am thinking about this spec. I want to have the PC as quiet as possible. Is there anything that I should consider to make this as quiet as possible?
