Ahaha

Same well i overloaded it with my 302 command prompts open in my pc LOL

+Tim Jiang Was on my way to say that :(

ikr

ditto had to put headphones on long before he suggested

+Peksy I always wonder how long its gonna take before my PC goes airborne.

Niek eedy My PC's 'exhaust' is at the back, so if I put some wings on it it would fly!

well at least you never have to clean the room from dust, its all collected inside....you know^^

***** better than mine i have an r7 240 and a core 2 duo was about to upgrade to quad but... steam winter sale...

TroyRedstone I have a pc with a Firepro v5800 and a core 2 quad

adblock braaa

I support youtubers, I have a heart :))

MrHD71 but can you hear it over your pc?

Pathfinder3877 lol XD

hahah youre so funny, funny looking xD

AurisLTL What on earth is ASMR? Not the first time it's been mentioned.

sound videos made for relaxation in general.and if someone in the video has to talk then they whisper dunno why though never really got them.

DIY Perks You might get a tingly sensation when you you hear a particular type of music or noise. ASMR videos are specifically made to trigger that and they end up being extremely creepy. Lots of very close whispery talking.

Abraxian Absolution Well, that's weird.

AurisLTL Believe it or not, that's what I thought too :D

They do that because people want them, not because they want to. People like to overclock, to do water cooling and so on.

They work in a way they can keep making money, because there will be always a newer, stronger, better item to buy. If they made a nearly perfect computer, they would be disgraced

Syuna did your iMac cost £40?

Syuna if his computer is inaudible to the human ear, how can yours be quieter?

But manufacturers of hardware have regulations to adhere to, with regards to electromagnetic interference and such. Using a "open" PSU design like this, wouldn't satisfy the regulations for electrical safety for example. But keeping in mind, that in my custom watercooled gaming system, the PSU fan actually never runs, because it doesn't get hot enough (Corsair RM1000i unit), then certainly some manufacturers do some things right. Hardware design isn't simply about function over form, as is the case with this PC enclosure. The "cool factor" of how it looks, how easy it is to work with, ability to fit many different hardware combinations, are all things that are very important when designing consumer goods. As soon as you only need to make a computer enclosure to fit one single configuration, that doesn't need to be upgradeable, well then making something that is essentially silent, suddenly becomes a whole lot easier.

honestly i never cared about the sound of the fans. i have 1 in the back 3 on top and 3 front and all spins at 100% all the time.

just shut your pc down and its quieter

That award could go to pretty much any smartphone. They are, after all, essentially computers.

+DIY Perks I believe another channel (or you... I have bad memory as to who it was) actually went and got the dBa of their computer measured in a quiet room. Apparently they were good, but not "that" good as there was electrical noise which could be measured pretty well (still virtually inaudible though if you ask me). (I think it may have been either linus or jayz as I watch those channels regularly as well). Huge fan of this build though, wish I could order one or knew how to "DIY" well enough to not waste countless hours on a half finished project (I am pretty sure I will give up when I'm about 200 hours in and finally managed to bend the aluminum sheet right)

+DIY Perks You could just say "pretty much every computer that is passively cooled".

+zypity It was Linus he tried building a completely silent PC but i doubt it was anywhere near as silent as this

***** I'm with you man. You're so right!

I checked the comments to see if anyone brought up ASMR, haha!

+Relaxing Harm I linked it on Reddit :D

Ha!

Oh just what I said XD

Yes and you it's working but I don't use a hard drive :(

+Tim Stahel (Moustached Viking) I love the scritchy-scritchy noise they make when they're reading or writing, it's really satisfying for some reason.

Prince Polaris It's like the sound of a modem starting up, just makes me feel good.

+Tim Stahel (Moustached Viking) Yesssss, that one too, and my current desktop has this satisfying clunk it makes as the fans all spin up at once, not to mention the 1996 PC in my closet with a super-satisfying power button, it's got an awesome... deep click, like you're hitting a nuclear launch button or something, I'm nto sure how to describe it

+Tim Stahel (Moustached Viking) My old ATI 5870 would "rev" its fan when my computer turned on. No doubt, one of the coolest things of my first build.

he should open a shop for us to buy them

There are system building companies that specialize in silent PCs. Some of them have models without any moving parts, but they'll charge you an arm and a leg. If you just want a silent workstation, you can probably figure something out with just an android smartphone, an MHL cable, and some bluetooth peripherals.

Abraxian Absolution If you are willing to drop a couple thou puget systems is a good option.

he should sell that sexy design to fractal!

2 Passive coolers, and an ssd is all you need, if you remove all case fans

Osman Carim I'm happy to hear you're liking my content!

G4mer 4ddict mine's sounded like a fking jet fighter

If by performance you mean lower temps, yeah, that'd probably happen with higher fan speeds. You won't see any faster framerates or renders though, because the components are kept cool enough anyway to avoid thermal throttling. That was the whole idea with the design. :)

+DIY Perks Brilliant

+Nicolas Bustamante GPU boost will not work with a GTX 460 i believe that the GPU Boost Technology didnt come out until the GTX 600 series of cards.

you will see alot less temps with any watercool sistem thus more space to overclock thus better overall performence .. under decent sound aswell that you would not hear with headphones on, still a nice design. Not to mention ... you will not be able to do a three way SLI with CPU coolers on GPU's..

dvem4e I forgot to cover the temps :( will upload a quick video about them after the weekend

ya, same question.. how about the vga and processor temp.. wait for that..

DIY Perks Will be much appreciated ....because with all this quite PC usually it means hot PC if not under water ......!

DIY Perks dude this video was awesome

XD haha

OW! MY EARS!

be quiet.

shut up

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

@@Rodrigo-qz5lj blast from the past

@@CeasiusC wow. sup dude

Michele Favaretto Glad you like the PC! Hard disks have what's called 'disk cache'. What happens is that, if the disk looses power whilst it's still writing data, it writes what's left in the cache to the platters whilst they spin down. The idea is to prevent data loss in the event of a power failure etc.Also, when you shut down a PC, the disk doesn't have an 'off' mode - the PSU simply shuts off and the disk looses power, just like what's happening when the backup button is turned off. Been using it for a while and it's been working fine, so I don't think there's too much to worry about :)

Danielle Lowe We'll have to agree to disagree here Danielle. Using a power button for the HDD is no more going to damage it than shutting down a computer does, or unplugging an external HDD etc. IE, it doesn't damage it. Part of my wanting to have the HDD disconnected from the PSU when not actually backing up is that, if for some reason a PSU dies, it can take out all components attached to it. Having it unplugged unless actually backing up adds yet another layer of protection.

Michele Favaretto Danielle Lowe Do you actually think hard drive manufacturers haven't thought of that? the drive will always slowdown and retract the retention arm before shutting down and no cutting the power doesn't effect that, because again they will have thought of that. As for shutting it down during writes without unmounting it that can only corrupt files on the drive same with usb-drives, but that's due to FAT and ntfs' lack of journalling and just btw windows has a "build"-in safety for that as well. But yeah my point being, there's not shut down mechanism in hard drives they are meant to plug and play today. @ "off" feature that's meant to turn of the power to safe energy consumption windows does that automatically on secondary drive as well and "its why when installing updates you see it hover at certain % before shutting down and re-booting" where on earth did you hear that? So called Green drives like the ones from WD are simply more energy efficient and run at lower spinning speeds that about it.

DIY Perks Hi Matt. Congrats on this build :) The best approach here (if you haven't already done that) is to get in the BIOS (from experience, latest ASUS BIOS'es do have that option) and setup the port this drive is connected to as a "Removable drive". That way you get a quick remove option in the tray for this particular drive. After selecting the option to disconnect it, the cache is flushed, the drive will indeed spin down and power off. It is 100% safe to disconnect the power supply after that. I will indeed try your approach at a custom case at one point, it is just too tempting :)

Portentous Lad NTFS is a journalling file system. File corruption or data loss can and likely will occur if you unplug a drive when it's writing data no matter what file system you use.

+Brock Williams I'm glad I wasn't the only one to think this

lol

wut

Portentous Lad Sure, I don't mind if you link to it. It's much appreciated, in fact!

Nice ;D

BCUZ its so silent that you cant hear it -_-

He made a video on making a GPU cooler quieter. haven't tried it, but take a look.

Thanks!

Salza Yeah, I don't see the point in upgrading until it breaks. I mean, it's a phone... it does what the rest of them do. :)

DIY Perks Lol u think u guys are retro? Im Still on the Xperia Ray! XD looks immaculate as the day i bought it, but a phones a phone, My PC does everything else I need, love your videos :D You sound like such a nice guy! In the middle of building my new gaming PC right now in the NZXT phantom case (always wanted that case) keep up the great videos sir :D

Salza +1 Also still on my HTC One X. Just exchanged the battery 3 weeks ago. It's back to new now :)

HTC One, I guess one of the best phones I had. But talking about the phone, have anyone noticed the blinking from the proximity sensor? Was it it, that was blinking (sending IR signals)?

Salza Same here ^^

The Dark One Because the little narration mic sounds almost as good, and fits my voice. That said, I've since started using the NT1-A, as it does offer smoother reproduction. Only 1% of viewers might notice the change, however.

Buy headphones.

yeah totally

slow claps* Well done
