--- Quote from: Titanium Man on July 04, 2013, 12:37:44 PM ---2 things i would recommend first of all jesus loving christ that psu is so overpriced, i got my xfx signature 650 w psu for 60 bucks and its considered really great 200 is just too much unless its made out of diamonds and 2 i would recommend a caviar black instead of that barracuda if it was me, i would actually get a single 2 tb caviar black harddrive instead of ssd for windows and hdd for everything else, it would eradicate some problems later on --- End quote --- I am aiming for quietness above all else. If you know of any PSUs that are sleek and silent and have verified dB ratings less than be Quiet!'s ones then do tell. Oh forget, I double posted, oh well. |

--- Quote from: Randomness on July 04, 2013, 12:39:14 PM ---I wanted quietness overall, but I look to not overheat the CPU especially in an R4 that puts more emphasis on soundproofing their vents. Actually, I was considering the H100i at one point but I am mainly concerned with two questions regarding that: 1] Is it quieter than contemporary CPU Coolers that cool just as good (ie I guess Dark Rock 2 CPU Cooler by Be Quiet! or what you said above) and, 2] May sound like a silly question, but can the sound proof padding stay on above the radiator? I'd presume not but the fans for the front of the case have padding, but those are intakes. --- End quote --- 1: I have a noctua NH-D14 and it's not loud at all. It runs some big fans, they're not even optimized for sound. I also don't have any sound proofing, but really if you're gonna go aftermarket and want quiet by some sound optimized fans. But I really don't notice any sound. 2: Leaving the sound proofing on would be a bad idea. |

I just want to make sure that the Noctura is more statistically quieter and is a verifiable fact on average. Im stuck choosing between the Noctura and the H100i. Which one is quieter, and if one isn't quieter, is it still preferable to get that instead? Probably going to choose Dark Rock 2 cooler instead. Found dB ratings on it and its quieter than the Noctua. |

Same performance, I think it's about the same price, but they look so much cooler. I would recommend the phantek or noctua over the h100i. If you want dB numbers go look them up, it should be one of the things included with product info. I never really got the craze with building quiet computers, even a "loud" one isn't that loud. The H80 I had was obnoxiously loud though. But if you want to build a quiet computer, go right ahead. |
