Re: Recommendations Needed: Building a Quiet PC

I'm not going to get in to pieces and parts because that is personal preference and should be determined by what you want to do with the box. Gamers are going to go one direction and basic computing needs will go another.

Look for a case with larger exhaust fans and minimal LED's.
120mm fans will exhaust the air without the RPM's.

The new Intel processor stock fans are reasonably quiet and if Intel says it is good enough, it will be good enough. I'm running a core 2 with the stock fan in an older case and it is barely noticeable. I did upgrade the exhaust fan to something quieter than the stock.

You should also look for a quiet power supply.
