Personally I just like the lack of difficulty in air cooling. And air cooling can also be very quiet. I have a case with soundproofing inside, and my PSU and GPU fans only spin up when they get hot enough to justify it. The noise level is so low as to be imperceptible. My dog breathes louder.

You have my attention. Tell me more about your dog

  • His name is Sherlock.
  • He's a year old.
  • He weighs about 70 pounds/~32 kg.
  • He's a mix adopted from a local shelter. Google Lens calls him a Dutch Shepherd. Might have a little pit in him. Gonna get a DNA kit for him.
  • He has XXXL ears. Everyone comments on how oversized his ears are.
  • He gives the softest, sweetest kisses.
  • He does not like walks or new people or new places.
  • He loves other dogs.
  • He doesn't understand the cat. Or his boundaries.
  • He pooped in the car once.
  • If left to his own devices, he will eat all the grass in the yard. The concept of not eating too much fiber at once is one he can't digest.
  • Despite not loving new people, he does warm up to you fairly quick. It took 20 minutes of my in-laws being around before he got lovey dovey on them.
  • He doesn't like bones that much. He'd rather have a cloth toy he can pull apart thread by thread.
  • His two favorite places in the world are 1) Daycare, and 2) Wherever mom is sitting. I'm the spare lol
  • I wanted to name him Rye Bread because of the color of his coat. My sister in law has a dog named Tater and my brother's dog is named Biscuit so I thought going with the theme of carbs would be cute. But he responds to Sherlock and that just makes handling him a million times easier so we stuck with that.

Here he is peeping out the window with the aforementioned cat:

Your wish is my command

But that's it. Not gonna overstay my welcome on this lol

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Oh my god he looks so much like my family's dog (rip Lady) some years back. Mix of German Shepherd, American pitbull and amstaff.

Take good care of Sherlock, he seems like a very special and good boy <3

Can you tell me more about your case and noise insulation? I've recently been unhappy with my PC's noise level and I'm looking for upgrades.

[–] spicytuna62 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's the windowless version of the Fractal Design Define R5. The panels are all lined with padding to reduce noise. I have a single Noctua NF-F12 moving air through it. It's capable of spinning to 2,000 RPM if needed, but it never gets hot enough inside to ever spin faster than 1,200. Even at full speed, the fan is still very tolerably quiet. I only bought the ippc version because it wasn't brown and brown.

Also, the CPU is a 4790K cooled by a Noctua NH-U9B SE2. It's a 92mm cooler that fit nicely in my old "Optimus Prime we have at home" case. It has two fans on it that run at a constant 900 RPM. It does a great job keeping heat in check at stock clock, but I wouldn't trust it in an overclock situation on this CPU.

4790k, one of the longest living processors out there. Still running one in one of our guest machines!

I use a Fractal Design Meshify C myself, and a Noctua D15. Whatever the quietest Corsair fans are, got five. It’s completely silent.

My partner has the same setup, but their machine is quite a bit louder. I think it’s cuz we went with that 35USD ninja… blade.. whatever cooler that people recommended for its similar performance to the D15, but 100 less. That thing is quite loud, though.

Before I redid my machine I was using an AIO, a nice Corsair platinum one, and three LL120s. MF was loud as shit. When the AIO spun up, I had to turn my volume up.

When I made all of my changes I DID also put a completely unnecessary 1KW Platinum PSU in there, which has a “fan doesn’t run” mode.

Not OP but I went on my own crusade against noise a few years ago. I had a ryzen 1600 and a 1070 in an NZXT S340 case using the included case fans. I wanted to get rid of noisy components entirely instead of using any kind of sound isolation or insulation because I thought it would be easier to get rid of the problem at the source than to try to hide it. I replaced both case fans with be quiet shadow wings 2s and got a be quiet dark rock 4 to replace the stock CPU cooler. My CPU never used more than 100w but the new cooler was rated for 200w. I thought it would be quieter to have an oversized cooler for my CPU since a bigger cooler would need a slower fan speed to get rid of the same amount of heat as an appropriately sized cooler. I also got a 850w power supply with a mode that turns off the fan completely if it's using less than 200w. My whole tower used around 300w when playing the games I normally played and around 100w or less while doing light work. I tweaked the fan curves of everything so temps stayed under 50C with light loads and all my fans stayed at about 900rpm. Every fan got faster and louder while gaming but I didn't notice or care since it was quieter than the sounds and music of the games. After I got all my new fancy fans my 8TB internal HDD became by far the noisiest thing in my whole set up so I built a NAS with hand-me-down hardware and put all my spinning rust storage in a different room. Since then my only upgrades have been a bigger SSD and a ryzen 5800X CPU.

In the dead of night when the whole house is quiet my own breathing is louder than my PC 2 feet away on the desk if I'm not gaming.

CPU AIO's are awesome, all the benefits of water cooling with none of the hassle.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I fully agree, except my Corsair Platinum was mega loud, until it died. They gave me an upgraded new one under warranty tho!

But I put a D15 in instead.

Edit: side note, the AIO cooled amazingly, worked for over three and a half years, and no liquid escaped. It just got janky.
