No buyer's remorse or no smugness intended. I was just happy with my solution, and I still am. So even though I didn't think about solutions like that, it doesn't matter, because the drive is also a lot quicker, and I don't have to listen to spinning platters and ticking, something I was already...

This is like a celebratory thread. I loved the value of having all my 4 TB's of storage in two Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPMs. But the goal of my system was really as quiet as possible. My thought was that a little ticking and spinning wouldn't be the problem. And it really isn't. But then I...

Thanks! I probably won't be doing anything about it, since it seems complicated and he doesn't charge his car all the time. But thank you for clearing it up so I understand what the issue is and what I would need to do to do something about it.

When my landlord is charging their Renault Zoe, my brand new Corsair RM550x starts whining in a high frequency. I rent the basement of their house. I have my own set of breakers, so it's not on the same circuit, but it seems to disturb the power in the house enough to create whine in my PSU. Is...

Thank you both for your answers. The problem just solved itself, and I don't know how it happened. I've also updated to the latest version of Argus, but the problem solved itself before I did the update. So I can't unfortunately tell why it started working correctly again, just that it did. To...

My computer is about a month old by now, and about a week ago, fans started spinning at full speed. Before that time, I installed Argus Monitor to software control the fans because the ramping was too erratic. Argus still does its job, but now every time I turn on and off my computer, the fans...

Tha Thanks a lot! This was a lot of good information. I'll definitely check out Argus Monitor and see if I can achieve some better results with it. I also just saw a video that talked about 3.6 GHz and sub 1 V being normal at idle with the 3900X, while mine is running at 1.1 V and 4 GHz at...

Thank you for your answer. Yes, as mentioned in the post I've already played around with that. (Text was a bit long, sorry about that!) I've now tried a curve that doesn't go above 30% fan speed until the CPU passes 55 C. That at least lowers the intensity, but the fan stills ramps up and down...

I just bought my 2nd desktop computer ever, and the first I've put together myself. The goal is for the system to run as quiet as possible. Specs are 3900X / Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2x16) 3200 MHz / Samsung 970 Pro Evo 1 TB / B450-F Gaming Asus Rog Strix. CPU cooler is Noctua NH-D15, case...

I'm planning on soon switching my setup to a MacBook Pro + external storage. However, I have a few questions on how to best set this up. I currently have about 5 TB of data that I need to have backed up, so aiming for 10 TB will be good enough for a few years. So what I'm hoping is that for...

Thanks for your answers guys. I've looked into Backblaze, but the reviews seems to say that it isn't as reliable, thrustworthy or fast as I need it to be. Neither my father or I have any monthly cap on bandwidth. QNAP seems nice! Seems a bit more complicated than what I was looking for, but...

My current storage load is about 3 TB. I'm thinking of doubling that and doing something like this: 1. Active storage. At least 6 TB of internal storage in my computer. 2. On-site backup storage. Same size. Complete "mirroring" with maybe a month or two of revisions. 3. Same as 2., only...

Thank you both for your answers. I liked both cases, so had to think hard which I liked best. The Corsairs are absoutely stunning cases, but they are not built with the same sound-dampening material as the Fractal. So even though I feel the Corsairs seem like much more sturdy and well-designed...

I have a one-room flat, which means my computer is always in the same room as me. I also use the computer for everything all day, both work and leisure. In addition to that, I'm very sensitive to background noise of all sorts. 1. Which means, above all, I want a quiet system. 1b. I will...

Thank you guys. This forum is the best. I'm putting down the Xeon on my list - sounds like a good idea in my case - as well as the MSI H97 Gaming 3.
