I value a silent PC the vast majority of the time . I have replaced the Fractal 7 case fans with Noctua models the temps under normal situations, surfing, Photoshop ETC are excellent using a Noctua CPU cooler unit. AIDA 64 screen shot attached after 3hrs of surfing, Photoshop, some office work...

I do a lot of Video editing using Premiere Pro and I feel that more ram would be more useful than a more expensive motherboard. I have just gotten the same case and the USB C socket works just fine with other motherboards { PCS do a lovely job with cable management }. Puget systems a major high...

I tried all that to no avail . But luckily my son had a couple of Noctua fans in his house { too ugly for his set up apparently :). So I just fitted them and the system is now whisper quiet , plus as they are PWM the can be easily controlled . Thanks for the help and hope you have a great Christmas

Fractal 7 { 2 front 1 rear case fans} ASUS® ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING Ryzen 9 5950X AMD 6800XT Noctua NH-U14S SEAGATE FIRECUDA 520 GEN 4 STORAGE X 2 Other than the fan noise it is a sweet machine.

I manged to grab a couple of shots before heading to work { possibly late :) } Hopefully they will show what you wanted

Thanks for the reply , I am getting ready to head to work. I will post some photos tonight when I get home

While I don't mind fan noise when I am actually doing stuff as I will be wearing headphones . The case fans are running at full speed all the time even when totally idle there does not seem to be any way to control this as the bios qfan settings do nothing. Having noisy fans in a silence focused...

Tell me about it my forehead stretches to the back of my head :)

I am certainly not recommending it to others :) I am simply pointing that there are other usage cases , not everyone needs or wants to overclock for the vast majority of my time on the PC , I value silence above all else . I was giving my use case with silence for 95% of the time when I am not...

My wife would kill me if I bought any of these beauties :)

Looking at a number of tests from the likes of Tech Jesus { Steve at GamersNexus :) } .Whilst under stress testing on multi-core CPU’s the higher end AIO’s do indeed do better the middle of the road models such as the H100i PRO the differences in temps are not that big a deal. As ever it is a...

Subtle , very subtle :)

I updated my order to a 5950X and 6800xt on the 18th as well just got word today that it is in building phase, fingers crossed yours is moving forward

Steve, though I have seen tests showing that the cooler that comes with the 5600X does a job. I think that AMD CPU's prefer faster RAM and better cooling to get the most from them. The price difference between 16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 2400MHz and 16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 3200MHz (2 x 8GB)...

I wanted to use beef stew as my password but the damn computer said it was not stroganoff.

If you take a look at PCS's home page you will see that you cannot get a new order in time for Christmas. Alas a lot of the high end components that you would be interested in such as the latest AMD CPU's or high end Nvidia graphic cards are in very short supply everywhere

It has been quite a year for sure :) Hopefully 2021 will be better a lot of folk have had some tough times. There are so many variables to fiddle with that it can get a bit overpowering. Hence my thank you thread for all the great advice you guys post in the forum.

Thanks , I was originally looking at the coolermaster 500m , the SL600M { quite a stylish bit of kit } and the fractal Meshify 2 which vanished off the original choices . I ended up plunking for the Corsair obsidian 750D . I would pick up the optional mesh front for it as it would give me...

Hi folks I was just having a gander through my order . As I perused the amend option I noticed that there were a number of different case offerings { including a couple that I had considered which vanished from the configurer } . While I am not going to be crying { well maybe a little ;)} If my...

Just a wee thank you to all the folk who give such good advice, especially SpyderTracks ,Agentcooper and Nursemorph. No matter what question I have had a quick search of the forum all but guarantees these guys have already provided the answer. :) much appreciated
