    PCSPECIALIST How loud should an AiO be?

    Downloaded AISuite, it says: CPU Fan - 2280~ RPM Chasis Fan 1 - 1760 RPM Chasis Fan 2 - 950 RPM PCH Fan - 3100 RPM Does any of that sound unusual? It honestly may just be that I was expecting the fans to be quieter than what's realistic whilst running games. edit: I've just found this comment...

    PCSPECIALIST How loud should an AiO be?

    Those RPMs are for the AiO fans. I have no idea whether it's those fans or the case fans that are being noisy. Case CORSAIR iCUE 5000X RGB MID TOWER GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Eight Core CPU (3.8GHz-4.7GHz/36MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard ASUS® TUF X570-PLUS GAMING (USB 3.2 Gen 2...

    PCSPECIALIST How loud should an AiO be?

    My build arrived today with the following specs. When I'm playing games, the fans seem pretty loud (even if I have them set to 'quiet' rather than 'balanced' in the settings) - I just want to make sure this is expected and that there's no issues. The fans are apparently running at 1500 rpm and...

    PCSPECIALIST New build with a £2500~ budget

    I'd initially selected that case as I'd read that it's very good with airflow, but the 5000x looks great. I noticed you added another 1TB M.2 drive, is that recommended for a reason? In terms of storage space as long as I can cover the OS then my current 2TB SSD should suffice.

    PCSPECIALIST Noctua fan for configured PC

    I think I'll be going for a 5600X as I've been reading that 5800X or 5900X is overkill for gaming. I'll post my build later on so people can have a look.

    PCSPECIALIST Noctua fan for configured PC

    I was messing around with configuring an AMD build last night and saved a quote with a Noctua NH-U14S Ultra Quiet Performance CPU Cooler. I've looked again today and that cooler is now missing from the list - there's only a single Coolermaster cooler and then PCS ones. Do components regularly...
