Which build is most silent?

[Nerd_1991]

I'm turning 16 this year and I think it's time for me to learn how to build a PC. I have put 4 builds together (on paper) and I'm going to buy the most silent one.

Which build will be most silent while playing a demanding game on max settings in 1080p? 25" 144hz screen.

Build B
CPU: i5-13600Kf 14 Core (5.1GHz)
GPU: Asus GeForce RTX 4070Ti 12GB TUF
PSU: Corsair RM750 Semipassive 80plus gold
Cooling: Corsair iCUE H100i RGB Elite 240mm Silent watercooling

Motherboards, ram, ssds make no noise, the GPUs and PSUs you list are all silent at low loads. Neither case looks like they have any silencing qualities. A bigger radiator with more slower fans could potentially be quieter under equivalent load. I have no knowledge of those listed.

You go from an i5 with a 4060 to an i9 with a 4090. You need to make up your mind on your budget and what you expect to do with it first.

Buy the cheapest one and some nice earplugs.

I can only narrow it down so far.. It's not going to be a 4060, nor a 4090.

The fans are of the same size, different making, 240 and 360 in the names meaning 2 and 3 120mm fans.
If you're not particularly into RGB stuff (although it seems that you are), I'd suggest checking out
the Corsair 5000D Airflow case and Arctic Liquid Freezer 360 cooler as alternatives.

That's kinda misleading when they say 360 mm in specs on the website. It would make more sense to write 3 x 120mm.

You can always check the detailed specs on a product page. The number in the name refers to the radiator's size.

Are those pre-builds?

They are pre-builds, but I will build them myself. I've looked at prebuilds, so I know that the components will match togther as I'm scared of messing up. Also, how'd you know they're pre-builds?

Same Corsair mid-tower case for mATX MB's, cutting it a bit short on the PSU's power and CPU cooling in the C and D builds, lack of SSD info.
'Smells' like pre-builds to me. :)

Oh, and even the last one with 13900K and RTX 4090 is not as much overkill as some may think for 1080p gaming, if you want your 360fps. Would depend on what you're playing and the system will be more noisy in certain situations, no matter what you chose.

First of all, sorry for bad english. I'm turning 16 this year and I think it's time for me to learn how to build my own PC. I have put 4 builds together (on paper) and I'm going to buy the most silent one.

Build B

CPU: i5-13600Kf 14 Core (5.1GHz)
Motherboard: Asus Prime B650M-A bundkort

This one would be dead silent. Cheers.

This is true, but if he's serious about that fps then anything below a 4090 wouldn't even be an option would it? his 4060 ti might crap itself trying to keep up with that.

360 fps is the 4k of fps. I never seen or even heard of someone seriously wanting that. I would have to bring up "can you even see that many fps?" for real. I know people joke around about not being able to see past 15 fps (lmao, joke) but can someone seriously see 360?. Hey if he wants em though, that's his business. He does have a monitor apparently that can do it.

[ChickenBalls]

guess he deleted the other options with 4080 and 4090
but the 4070Ti is still overkill for a cheap crappy 1080p monitor

but it should be more silent than the 4060

[ChickenBalls]

uh why not just buy a 4060Ti with beefy coolers like Asus Strix
jesus, first time I see someone buying a higher end GPU to pair with a cheap monitor because they believe it would make the pc run quieter.
Guess you could get a 4090 and use Afterburner to limit its power to like 200W then you'd have a totally silent GPU. then get a 13900K and underclock it to like 3GHz and maybe even disable half of the cores too

144 hz is no problem for me actually. I have a 144hz monitor, and I don't really want 360 fps. I can't remember why I wanted to use 360 in my question. Sorry about that guys.

If you can guarantee that a 4060 will be just as silent as a 4070 in 1080p max settings, then I'll do that instead. Can you guarantee this?

[ChickenBalls]

lol and you believe everything everyone says in some online gaming forum?

and fyi they haven't even released the 4060 yet

I believe in the best in people yes. I'm guessing people know what they're talking about in here. I don't help people if I don't know what I'm talking about.
I meant 4060 ti which has been released.

idk what "semipasive" is exactly? I'm assuming that's like my PSU where there's a switch for passive and fan cooled tho?

I'd definitely recommend a passive cooled PSU for anyone tho... there's no way you'll ever get all the dust outta that thing.

watercooling is probably more than you need for that, but w.e... idk what even fits a 240mm rad...

why not just go passive everything with a high airflow case? maybe install a leafblower in the basement? ya know...
