Is this PC build quiet and if you have any recommendations to make it quieter plz let me know

 

[SpyderTracks]

I would try pushing for the 750W RMx PSU, reason being is it's semi passive so the fans only kick in when it's under serious load, will be much quieter.

I'd also try pushing for the H100i platinum, it's a more modern cooler and has software monitoring which that one doesn't. It comes with very quiet corsair ML fans, ML stands for Magnetic Levitation, they just coast of a cushion of air, extremely quiet. That paired with the better cooler anyway means the fans will have to work less hard so all in all will be a lot quieter.

Other than that, it's absolutely perfect, really good build.

 

[Joeh77]

Thank you for your advice

The reason is I have a ailenware aurora r7 and it is loud when I play games on it and also I hear coil wine from the GPU when it is not on full load.

I was thinking of getting this pc build and give my old pc to my brother do you think that's being stupid?

Is it just the coil whine that's loud? If so that's covered by warranty.

I've spoken to dell about it and they said there is nothing they can do about it sadly and also the fans are loud I've replaced the front fan but i cant replace the top fan because attached to the liquid cooler which I am not going to mess around with it

The fans attached to the radiator are just the same as a case fan, they just unscrew at the corners. The radiator won't get damaged at all.

But I would call up Dell again, that's not ok for them to palm you off, it will be covered under your warranty as it's not performing as expected or advertised. Coil whine is a manufacturing defect which means the part is defective and needs to be replaced.

Maybe worth considering some faster RAM too.

 

[Joeh77]

My personal experience with that case is that it is an excellent case and is insanely good for airflow considering it's price.....however, the fans will require a speed adjustment as I found them to be a little loud when set on standard profile...though I guess it may be I have more sensitive hearing. Once I adjusted the fans to silent in the software (I use AI Suite but other software is probably better), I barely notice them now, even when I am running games at high settings.

I only mentioned it as you specified a quiet system and the Focus G may require some fan adjustment.....though it depends on what you consider to be quiet as it may be different to what I consider quiet

Is there any other case that you recommend that is quiet the reason why I selected that case because it said it had quiet fans

If you can let me know if there is anything i there i could make it quieter that would be great.

 

[Dan79]

Up the RAM to 3200. AMD loves RAM and its around £11 more

 

[Joeh77]

When you click the "Post to forum" button. When you copied in the spec to paste it in here, at the bottom it shows the price and the link to the build itself

 

[Scott]

Not sure on the budget or the usage. Would need to know which monitor you are pairing the system with to comment on the GPU selection etc. For the most part I've just gone with what you had selected initially with a few changes. Note the link at the bottom, this takes you straight in.

Of course, you're fully entitled to a 14 day return

 

[Joeh77]

Ive been trying to covice my dad to get but because there is no point because the pc i have is a Ailenware Aurora R7, and its loud thats the whole reason i wanted this. If i get this i am going to give this pc to my brother and get this pc but dad said it will make no difference. (btw i am paying for it not my dad)

Am i being stupid?

 

[Scott]

It will make a huge difference. Most off the shelf PCs don't offer the best cooling, and they certainly don't offer premium components.

If you want to absolutely guarantee a much quieter system then go for the Define with the H115i Platinum. It will run this system on whisper quiet mode with ease.
