Quiet

I'm looking for suggestions on the quietest components to support a PC with the following constraints. Don't worry about cost, I'm just looking for the best technical info: CPU: i9-14900K Power: motherboard will be set to enforce stock limits: PL1 = PL2 = 253 W GPU: Nvidia RTX 4090 RAM: 192 GB...

I'm looking to buy a Radeon 6700XT as they're the same price pretty much as my RTX 3060. I'm planning to sell the 3060 afterwards as they sell for a very similar price still. I have the MSI GAMING X TRIO 3060 and it's practically inaudible. Well it is.. I can't hear it at all in my Fractal R4...

hello this is a simple but good question. I just don't exist in the graphics card world very much. I'm looking to buy a 3060 12 GB model mainly for the vram and I see price variants from 330 all the way up to 630. But I looked at the benchmarks and they're all basically the same. so I'm...

Not sure under which forum to post this so its here. Im having issues with my microphone being pretty quiet 90% of the time but sometimes it randomly goes extremely loud. I can replicate the problem a 100% of the time by muting on the headset and unmuting. The headset is Razer kraken 3.5mm...

i was playing with my DT 990 Pro headphones and I was fidgeting with the inside of the ear and pressing down on the speaker and the driver. All of a sudden it became faint in both ears. I tore it open and the cable seems attached fine. Did I press too hard and the speaker driver things are...

Prefix: I'm dealing with the same issue as this thread right here from 7 years ago. I have not been able to solve it yet. Here's my version of the same story: I used a Logitech G430 for many years as my primary headset. It broke for the 2nd time at the same spot (the C clips that connect the...

I want to build a PC that will be silent when not gaming. Looking for recommendations on case, CPU cooling, PSU. Should I get custom fans for the case? Budget: unlimited

So, I've been looking for a new laptop for a while now, and I can't seem to find something that works for me. I mostly use my laptop for work; some computer programming, graphic design, and AutoCAD. Occasionally I do play games on my laptop, so I am looking at gaming laptops. My main problem...

Hi all, Recently been building my new pc and so far very happy with the way I've managed to optimise the hardware to be quite quiet. One of the best things I did was swap out the 4tb Seagate Nas Ironwolf drive that came with the pc to a 240gb ssd, however this has left me with much less...

Hi, I'm using the Thermaltake Armor Revo Full Tower Case in my old PC. It has 3 x 200mm fans (front, side door and upper exhaust). These fans are a perfect solution for high air flow while still remaining quiet. I'm looking for a case for a new build, could anyone recommend a...

Hi everyone, as I said in the title I want to get a new computer. Because of my work, the pc will be turned on for many hours or even for days, doing computations and simulations on medium stress. In the remaining time I'd also like to play some games. That's why I want my build to have some...

I have a budget of £90 to spend on making my PC quieter (it's literally a jet engine) and need help in deciding what is the most important thing to buy: I could spend all my money on a really good quiet case (eg. be quiet! Silent Base 600) or something. Or I could buy a better CPU cooler (eg...

Whats the best standard AIO cooler for AMD Threadripper 3960x or 3970x. (or air cooler) First proper system getting custom made (did looking into doing it my self but the custom suppliers like Scan Uk or Amari seem to do it cheaper (bulk deals I guess) so no idea on custom jobs in custom build...

Hi everyone, So this as been driving me mad. Recently build a new setup with a Tomahawk B450 motherboard and a Ryzen 5 3600, despite some of the usual issues everything as been great. Trouble is the audio out of my headphones is so low it can be hard to even hear anything. I have tried a...

I bought this computer a few months ago and the microphone has always been quiet. This really bums me out because I really like talking to my friends in discord. I have tried updating the drivers and messing with microphone properties. Not much I can do in discord or in other games. Nothing...

Hey, I have Fujitsu A555 series. Is it can be upgradable?

So someone on ebay is selling an i5 8400 for 30 quid. They only allow you to buy one CPU per person. Is it legit or a scam? My instincts are telling me to stay away but it seems like a really good deal. What do you all think? Any thoughts...

Why does an M.2 B+M key cost less than a M.2 M key?

Well, the deal is do I NEED to replace BOTH chips? That is my question please. I could write a few pages how asooos support are the sorriest on the planet how they said to send the serial # of the mobo in and then I could send it to them but then the sorry sob's LIED TO ME and I never heard...

I've done some reading around recently and heard that the Kraken line of CPU coolers reads the liquid temperatures to modulate fan speed and pump RPM instead of the CPU temperature. I was wondering if it is possible to change this in any way, or if I'm stuck with it. My end goal is to decrease...

Hey, Pretty new to overclocking and I'm trying to find stable overclock for my 4670k, but it seems I got rather unlucky with my cpu. I set it to 4.2Ghz and 1.2V, if I run intel burn test, I can run it for hours and my pc wont reboot or BSOD, but if I run prime95 it will reboot or bsod after...

We had the pre-sale, then the actual release date.... a few chips went out .... then crickets. Any thoughts, grass-nole ideas why no order backfill? we are coming up to a month since launch.

Hi all, I'd like to ask you how to calculate (or get your professional advise) on what best (2nd hand?) GPU I can get for my system. I read couple threads, even here: 1. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2267412/bottleneck-core-duo.html 2...

When I boot my pc into Windows my display is lopsided. I am using two screens. The left screen is displaying what my right screen should be displaying. Vice versa with my right screen. Help please! Thank you

I've seen quite a few threads regarding this, but most are old (probably because the processor is old) and I'm looking for some new opinions on this. I had bought a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD (despite some of the bad reviews), but I found the reviews...
