How to Build the ULTIMATE Silent Gaming or Workstation PC

[@abattlescar]

I miss this amazing editing. So much more professional than new videos.

[@giladtselniker8420]

right.

[@tggt00]

linustechtips were never professional, ever.

[@rojamb2012]

Watching their old reviews of them reading off the box yet still producing a fairly good review boggles my mind.

[@baetsimpson]

Did he seem RYzen?! (Ok I will leave now.)

[@WaffleTM420]

absolutely agree with you, this actually feels professional and premium

[@PradigyMusicman]

I have to say, that intro was the best i've ever seen on KZbin. Very Impressive Linus and crew!

[@xritcha]

hagger taylor nope I'm pretty sure ed does that

[@xritcha]

hagger taylor​ whats the budget?

it is I loved it

[@vinalia]

My pc is silent. but why is the monitor always black?

[@vinalia]

RRainerss sshh its a joke

[@LolAddictor]

Did you peel off the black plastic on your screen?

[@vinalia]

Smashing Ryan Yes theres like a spider web tho :/

[@vinalia]

I just got a new monitor, i tried turning the monitor. Nothing happens pc is still silent tho, which is nice!

[@vinalia]

Specs : Motherboard :LGA 1511 GPU : 2 GTX 1080 Processor: Intel i7 Ram : 16x4 team ecc ddr4 HD: 2x Samsung PSM1331a SSD: Crucial MX 200 Sata Fans: Some random fans i found online, maybe 6 of them Cpu cooler : Same as up, but just 1 Case : Some random fan case i found that fit everything somehow AND ITS QUIET BUT THE MONITOR IS ALWAYS BLACK LIKE WOOT

[@GeekTherapyRadio]

The side effect of building a silent PC is how infuriating your ambient environment becomes. **bird chirps 4 blocks away** "SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!!"

[@hepburnwinona9995]

+Jween Tech that's just some mental health issues, can't blame the birds :D

[@reversal]

I wonder how many takes it took to shoot 1:30

[@TheVadnay]

yes

[@MikeBurnsArrangedAccidents]

Nice catches in any case.

[@martinshoosterman]

Next build the loudest PC ever. Use combustion engines instead of electric motors for the fans. use 4 of those expensive useless 10k rpm HDDs,

[@Fubar231]

+martinshoosterman The worst were the 5200 RPM "Green" HDD's that were SLOW AS BALLS, especially when its 2+ tb.

[@europeanlegionary6887]

and remember to put two Radeon 6870's in there

[@baley7]

martinshoosterman jet engine powered fan!

[@baetsimpson]

Fubar231 I HATE 5200 RPM drives.

[@botwenty]

Linus actually did that a few weeks ago

[@KapelloMg]

Oh my god this intro is amazing! Whoever decided to change the default intro to this needs a raise

[@KapelloMg]

I mean.. deserves a raise.

[@rafael6405]

Kapello Mg These intros are only for the build guides.

[@raynjpg]

It was Edzel. And I agree, the original intro is annoying and old, this looks good and feels good.

[@carmadme]

my laptop IS silent the fan dont work

[@tennicktenstyl]

your grammer dont work

[@carmadme]

+Bartosz Olszewski you what

[@chopperread5816]

HAHAHA nice.

[@keeperreaper1617]

+Bartosz Olszewski neither yours

[@tennicktenstyl]

KeeperReaper you what sayed? my grammer are perfectly well

[@cyb3ar897]

Am I the only one that can't stand perfect silence? When my computer's running, I like having the ambient background noise of the fan, as long as it's not overwhelming. I dunno why, I just find it soothing, because I know everything's working.

[@bloatus7611]

Only thing that used to worry me about sound dampening is when a mechanical drive is about to go and you can't hear it. Although that's a relatively loud sound.

[@shineything4444]

it depends in my room lol i have fans going in my room because i literally go insane at night when there is complete silence i need noise or something

[@sukibisbotka]

the same reason why electric cars are shite

[@shineything4444]

gregor clegane hmm have mixed feeling about this sure they are quiet but damn that instant torque is mind blowing trust me on that. but still like the sound and feel of an engine especially my jeep but i like electric cars to.

[@carlosewm]

gregor clegane You know computers are not run on fuel...They're run on electrical currents and tensions...so... Bad comparison. Electric cars are good, bro, they're just too silent, but they're fast and very clean when it comes to pollution. Remember, you're the one who's breathing all that carbon monoxide coming from cars everyday. Not that they're the only source, but they're not the least polluting source either.

[@fringeanomaly9284]

The intro was ssooooo awesome .. bring it back

[@Brandon-ob9rg]

Mike seemed super Zen. I like quiet as well.

[@Brandon-ob9rg]

Nikola Nikolov Show me how

[@Brandon-ob9rg]

+Nikola Nikolov No problem. Have a great day!

[@YeCannyDaeThat]

One day a mobo manufacturer is going to put a conductive top on their mobo box just for the troll.

[@Cyortonic]

No they won't.

[@nekstari]

That moment when you can't watch the video peacefully because of your PC fans going out of control.

[@ceasar9460]

will this run roblox on medium settings at 20 fps pcpartpicker.com/p/3R7Tqs

[@Oscar4u69]

ceasar nope, sorry mate, it can hardly run minesweeper on ultra LOW settings, something like 10 fps or less :c

[@ceasar9460]

rodrigo maldonado pcpartpicker.com/p/zh26xr ok what about that

[@aidansweeney9667]

ceasar they're lying to you, my crappy laptop with integrated graphics does well, both will handle it *very* well

[@ceasar9460]

Aidan Sweeney i know its a joke

[@ledzeppeman]

I don't think anyone else makes videos like this at this quality. Linus is really the top tier from what I've seen. If anyone has decent competition to mention, by all means, speak up. I need more stuff like this.

[@garettfrank7101]

Whoever put that intro together I praise you! That was fantastic and I'd love to see this style used for alot more of your awesome videos.

[@robertaries2974]

Coming from Sept 2020, I was not expecting that intro

[@JgHaverty]

Silent Powerful Cost effective Pick 2.

[@GaetanAlmela]

JgHaverty first two :P

[@B3ASTJUG11]

Sean Fiske I love the build! But man your going to get a bottleneck with a Pentium and a 970, I would really recommend going to an i5, otherwise the rest of your build is great :) best of luck!

[@devilmunch]

bran, the thing can overclock to 4+ ghz he's not gonna bottleneck it.

[@TCWordz]

Phantom Some people have managed to get it to over 5 under water. But it's still a bad choice. Go for a nice k-skew i5 and you WILL see better performance. It would also be more futureproof (gasp!) as you likely won't have to change your CPU and motherboard when you want to upgrade the graphics card again. If you don't get a k-skew it's more "bang for the buck" friendly to grab a B 85 motherboard (even an H 81 one.. but they kinda really suck) Also get 2x 4 GB sticks of memory for double the bandwidth (increased performance in some cases)

[@devilmunch]

Tommy59375 but if it's budget then a pentium is fine. i5 is better i'm not denying it but a pentium won't bottleneck a 970. 1080p 60fps e z.

[@Razeth]

WE NEED MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS

[@hansyolo8277]

Best. Intro (and overall editing). Ever. Give him a raise!

[@BrillOBuffalo]

+Hans Yolo Wonder if it was Dennis >:D

[@echo2392]

I watch videos of pc's builds that i can't even afford

[@hauslerful]

+SuuB Which is fine, people also like to watch expensive cars race, even though they can't afford them ;-) It's okay to be geeky about cool tech.

[@SamuelCish]

+SuuB A Strix GTX 970 and a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo are good replacements for what Linus has in this build. They're what I have and it's great. If you want, you can also use a Define R5 case as well.

[@echo2392]

Tnx

[@MrPersistent16]

+Adolf Hitler you're not alone bro... keep dreaming we'll get there one day

this is lowkey like the best tutorial on how to build a pc ive seen

[@emreoz7028]

Amazingly planned script and perfect camera work. People can learn so much more with your videos than just about pcs!

[@finnaginfrost6297]

I would have laughed so hard if they had slowly turned down the volume over the course of the video

[@sketchybanana7146]

I can run Minesweeper on ultra settings over 30Fps+ #HARDCOREGAMER

***** On Ultra settings right? Wow. O.o

[@Quakj]

***** Guess what ... I can run it at 120 FPS ... Deal with it.

[@sketchybanana7146]

Really cool!

[@pelataan69]

+Dimplex LoveDurex same case and im getting noctua nf d15 and some noctua fans because i can hear my pc even when im usimg headphones (closed)

[@pelataan69]

+Dimplex LoveDurex i have stock fractal fans and 2 120 fractal and 1 deepcool 140fan and i have motherboard what can controll fan speed by software but i can still hear it when im gaming and my temps get too hight like 90c on cpu and 80c on gpu and fans 100% i get around 80c on cpu on stress test and gpu 62c

[@pelataan69]

Dimplex LoveDurex no it is watch some tek vidos on like linus tech tips or jayztwocents when cpu is over 85c then ist bad

Uhhh thanks, recommended? Love the intro though! BRING THEM BACK LINUS

[@IboCamIbo]

The quality of these build guides have increased so much over the years!

[@homicidesquad6417]

It has indeed

[@ThrowingItAway]

That moment when you build a silent PC only to have Graphics card coil whine XD

[@boktorinator693]

I built my rig to be quiet It worked But then a few months later my 1070Ti decided it wanted to coil whine A LOT Big oof

[@aissajez911]

what I like about Linus is they seem honest at the end he went and give the true result of the rig...thumbs up for this.

[@brybrycrivello]

"Its like saying my armpits smell, I'll just wear noseplugs" LMAO

[@yumri4]

the only problem is that biologically you cannot smell yourself because of a defenesive mechnism inside the brain allowing you to smell the surrondings and just forget the smell(s) of your own body ... when you can smell yourself that means there is a ton of bactria on your skin and you should wash yourself with alot of soap and water as haveing that much bactria on your own skin is not healthy mainly because it is the bad bactria that you can smell while the good bactria you cannot when it is yourself of course.

[@JustRadix]

Gotta admit, that editing is top-notch.

[@BenjaminRodriguezReyes]

That Material Design intro sequence was amazeballs

[@Todesnuss]

The production quality on that intro was outstanding.

[@vrunchycrunchy9272]

The loudest thing in my rig is the hdd... Fuck me

[@jellyfilledgiraffe3971]

Vrunchy Crunchy I feel your pain. The struggle

[@meatsafemurderer7743]

Tell me about it...the first time I booted mine my fans were running at a really low RPM...and all I could hear was my cocking HDD ticking away...I've since turned up the fan speed...and I can still hear the HDD -_-

[@rob4750]

SSD, only solution.

[@meatsafemurderer7743]

Arjan Stoop Unfortunately it wasn't the vibration, it was the click-click-clicking of it reading/writing data. At the time it was a 2.5" drive kind of ghetto mounted using foam to wedge a 2.5-3.5 sled into a floppy bay. I've since replaced the case and now it's mounted on an SSD mount behind the motherboard tray. Less audible but still there. Once I turned up the fans (which to me is a more tolerable noise) it masked it fairly well. I have had drives that did vibrate through the chassis though...and fans too...and they are annoying as hell.

[@TheLondonCyclist]

Vrunchy Crunchy Why not just get a 250gb SSD from Samsung and have a 2-4TB storage as extra storage or if you have a 1GB upload and download, just use online storage.

[@Phoenix-Brah]

Does anyone know what program they use to make their intros? They are amazing :D

[@petlamb8111]

I am from costa rica and if you see the cpu at 2:26 it says costa rica on it. That proves that costa rica is not only a jungle

[@adamg6453]

okay

[@korgusborkin4646]

I have one question though, can it run Internet Explorer?

[@gameflame4122]

+Francis Moran nope, only opera browser

[@melvin8d671]

+Francis Moran It may run notepad on lowest settings, at 1 frame every 100 seconds if you overclock cpu to 1petahertz and gpu to 500 terahertz.

[@isai306]

+Eman EL overclocking is old underclock it to 10 nanohertz

[@calvesman.willem]

+AboveFancy2 more like 1 yoctowatt

[@barbershop22]

Will this build let me play Minecraft? I run Minecraft in turbo mode.

[@Jontiac]

I used to try and build my PCs silent. I used them primarily as workstations since I've found loud PCs can affect mood. In recent years I've given up on doing so. I made a hole in my office and the computer is off in a seperate room. My computer has 8 total fans and I still somewhat hear it through the wall, but with music playing, which is basically ALWAYS, I don't hear it anymore. You just have to be prepared to purchase many long wires and extensions to still run your displays/accessories.

[@Skrapeg0at]

That armpit analogy at the beginning was the best part of the video.

[@JakeMac96]

Lmao "less than a dollar per gig" with 2 480gb ssd's so almost $1000

[@MrTomWaffles]

+ClickyGaming not pci-e

[@read6281]

But you are forgetting that it it was run in RAID 0 which means that he was only getting HALF of that memory.

[@Dantheman1219]

+Read Adams half of the total of 480x2, right?

[@read6281]

Dan Jacques yea, the idea is that you get the speed of 2 SSD's but only the memory of 1.

[@MarkJohnson-xy6ru]

+Read Adams do you know how raid 0 works it strips them both together with no redundancy, your thinking of raid 1

[@n3er0o]

Wow! You guys really like material design! Makes me love your videos even more

[@Nick-rs5if]

When i was working at a local computer workshop here in Sweden i built a silent PC for a customer. I couldn't hear it at all even when i put my ear flat on the side door, even when all fans was at 100%. I did not have any equipment to measure audio levels at the time, but here are the specs. I used an NZXT H630 case (Without window) For the airflow i went with the standard 200mm fan at the front, an NZXT 1000 RPM air-flow optimized fan at the top drive cage and a 120mm radiator from Cooler Master in push-pull at the back with 2x NZXT 1000 RPM static pressure fans for a total of 4 fans. I really recommend that case if you want a premium silent computer.

[@Jedislayer_]

That look on your face linus. All that research and the build but you nearly did it. You don't need a damn seal of approval.

[@readyrepairs]

im sorry, do i see intake fans on the front and back?

[@gabrielgarcia1641]

Yes

[@EhrykMenze]

Yep, it's exhausting through the top.

[@redchris05]

He hoped so, but it's actually just swirling around inside the case.

[@redchris05]

***** actually, that would produce _less_ of a vortex, as it would quickly reach an optimal pressure at which the rate air was squeezed out of the rest of the case matched that being pulled into it. One thing I will mention is that the PSU being upside-down _may_ alleviate this. I forgot about that.

[@Chaps_Jr]

This is a computer case optimized for silence, not airflow. There is no vortex inside the case significant enough to make any difference. The front and back fans will push air into each other, and any hotter air will rise to be exhausted through the top. It's basic thermodynamics, and not hard to understand. Plus, as long as there is any airflow at all inside the case, convection will take over and do most of the work anyway.

[@Daniel_Anishchenko]

I have a hunch this was sponsored by Bquiet.

[@Autotrope]

Linus seems personally invested in quiet computing, which is nice and comes through in stuff like this. Other channels will give lip service to noise levels but they don't seem to care as long as it can be measured at a "noise normalised" level which is significantly louder than what any quiet computing enthusiast would aim for anyway. Small details like Linus opting for a super sized air cooler over an AIO show he gets it

[@drakhavik1574]

Whoever edited that intro... You're fucking awesome. Nice job.

[@Nick930]

Is that Fred from those Fred videos?!??! Edit: No.. no it is not. Just looked up who Fred was and it's not this guy. But damn, that's a great silent build! My current build is pretty silent thanks to the H110x v2 water cooler and some custom padding for 2 of my secondary hard disk drives. The GPU is still very loud under load, but there's no real avoiding that I guess.

[@sixty9inety]

Verified. Nice.

[@WarmiX974]

Very good video ser !

[@dimann9049]

I loved how hard Linus was trying so hard not to laugh when talking to the quiet computer guy 😂😂

[@jayc5173]

18.00 the disappointment in his face. Great build series, really well presented ❤

[@NoooLif3]

For my school project I had to create a PC build that was capable of high end gaming whilst staying quiet and I built pretty much this exact build.

[@NoooLif3]

Stephen P Okay.

[@GoodOlKuro]

Stephen P If I read that correctly that means sam is stephens mother?

[@esaedvik]

Who paid for the school project?

[@NoooLif3]

Sam Smith Ah, right. Didn't even think of that :D

[@tempino273]

Man I remember being in middle school when this video came out thinking a 980 was expensive...we didn't know how good we had it...

[@EhteshChoudhury]

The silent room measurement with Mike Chin from silentpcreview is interesting at 15:38. Good stuff, didn't know there was a community around silent gaming PCs.

[@thewildmitchell]

I've been researching how to quieten my system so I think that's why I was lead here, but even though I've got no intention of building a PC, I still can't look away from this video lol. Love this channel!

[@Carsman50]

Im liking the new style of reviews, (I saw it progress on the OC guides) I do like the normal LTT intro but this is a good substitute. I also noticed the camera went a little yellow and blurry when you were talking about the PSU, but apart from that it was a new step forward.

[@_Horse_]

i didnt see anything

[@vsevolodnedora7779]

Put the computer in space. It will be 0 db.

[@brockster1677]

+Vsevolod Nedora k

[@Ballsackhaver]

+Vsevolod Nedora k

[@Hulluboju]

It will also build up heat at crash bc no heat it dissipated out of it bc no air

[@BoomBrush]

+Vsevolod Nedora might not be such a good idea, without air as the medium to transfer to, the heatsinks will simply build up heat and only radiate it outwards at a very slow and inefficient rate. the fans will also do nothing which would rise the overall system temperature a bit.

[@BlueCosmology]

+John Mosier That is not true. Infrared radiation from a human body is incredibly small, you'll go hours before getting cold ( and that's if you're completely in the shade. If you're not you will without a doubt absorb more IR than you emit).

[@neruos8738]

can this run minesweeper?

[@alessiobrattoli737]

i miss this type of video these were amazing

[@midgardwhat]

crazy to think theese parts were the top of the line

[@sephirotic87]

I'm a enthusiast to (semi)passive quiet builds and have a custom built optimized for that. I'm astounded as how few good semi-passive builds you can find over the internet. Lots of down points in this video.: 1) 100% passive heat-sinks without fans are completely pointless. There is no reason whatsoever not to have a fan in the cpu's HS and just keep it off for most of the time. And when you want extra performance, you can set it to only turn on at very high temperatures (+75c) to avoid your CPU from frying and still allowing a high overclock than a complete passive HS. Instead of removing the fan, adjusting the cpu's frequency in OS is the best flexible option to choose the optimum compromise between Noise and performance above 75c 2) 120mm fans are terrible options. That is the obvious reason why this build fails at LOAD mode. When going for a absolutely quiet build, the correct choice of fans size and models are crucial. The ideal CASE would have the biggest fan supports as possible, preferably with no 120mm fans whatsoever. If you have 140 200 and 120 mm fans, you would notice that the 140mm will be much more efficient pumping air than the 120mm. The 200mm will be particularly better for top exhaust at very low rpms (600~800). The case in this review does not support a rear 140mm exhaust fan, so that would be a instant cut-out for me. The 120mm fan selection is not the best either, Corsair's SP120 quiet edition is the best CFM vs Noise ratio fan in the market. 3) While 100% passive PSUs are neat, they are not a good choice cost-wise since they usually are ridiculously expensive. A supernova G2 which is semi-passive up to 300w would be the best balanced option. 4)This is a extremely overpriced build, btw, only few people could afford it. Quiet semipassive pcs DON´T NEED TO BE over ~750USD. Mine isn´t (if you don´t account for the SSDs). 5) The rear fan used as intake is another choice that I believe is not very good, as it blows air away from the top opening grill and reduces the natural convection of the massive HS. 6) Another criticism of this case is that it's top and front grill are considerably obstructed by pointless plastic aesthetic-parts. I don´t believe the compromise of sealing the CASE with plastic and rubber for absorving the sound of the fans is always the best as it cranks up heat inside and limits the thermal dispersion of the build, thus the maximum performance. Bigger low-rpm fans with large area grills is the best option IMO. 7)Related to the previous 2 itens: Semi-passive builds should have NEGATIVE pressure, not positive. 8) No undervolting on the CPU? Boooh No moderate overclock? Double Booh. 9) I haven´t seen emphasis on trying to find the sweetspot speed of the case fans, ramming them all way to the max as the CPU gets to 70c is not an intelligent choice. A high static pressure cooler on the HS, as stated on item one, would be a better option and finding the ideal max speed of the case fans is also essential. For my build, I found that having my 140mm fans at 700rpm and the 200m at 600 is the sweet spot, enough to reduce the Delta-V from ambient from 12 (complete passive, a average midtower, btw) to a mere 1.5. Increasing the fans speed to 1200 and 900 rpm (their maximum) bumped the noise a lot and didn´t reduce the Delta-V significantly more.

[@sephirotic87]

Also another detail I noticed, a low-noise resistor adapter is only a good option for fans that actually can start up at lower voltages (5 volt and bellows). However, if you don't go with this exact silent wing models, usually a pwm controlled fan will go lower speed (thus noise) than a voltage reduced fan.

This video needs to be remade for 2023

[@MikeBurnsArrangedAccidents]

Old video but still some good information here. I wasn't aware that Seasonic was making fanless power supplies in 2014. They have 700W ones now. BeQuiet is a great company. Their fans really helped quiet my computer, though I'll be switching them out for Noctua NF-A12x25 fans which proved to be 3dB quieter in tests. I was surprised that you took the fans out of your BeQuiet heatsink. Didn't think that was an option for an I7 processor. They've got standalone sinks for 90W processors and below but nothing for the 125W gaming processors of today. Noctua has been teasing a 3 Kilo one since 2019. A silent GPU is the holy grail. The Palit GTX 1050 Ti KalmX 4 GB graphics card is the only thing that comes close, and it's near impossible to get a hold of one. It can play all the 1080 pre-2018 games perfectly on max settings, but for 4K it's supposed to be rubbish.

Nice catch on the equipment there, Linus. Wonder how many takes were done to perfect them though, but nice there's a no-look catch with them.

[@pablohyslop]

Would the human ear be able to tell the difference between 23 and 27 dp's?? It's extremely marginal, I think you guys did a great job. Cool that you bought another tech company into your video to help them out too. Keep up the great work

[@MiesvanderLippe]

Decibels aren't that easy. The amount of noise between 23 and 27 doesn't compare to the same gap elsewhere in the spectrum (118 and 121).

[@pablohyslop]

Interesting, I'll look into this more if that's true

You sent a Wikipedia link to prove your point? Ouch

[@MiesvanderLippe]

bikesandrockets You want to discredit Wikipedia on something as well known as Decibel ratings?

[@BerkanProductions]

My pc is silent when it is off It worked -!!!

[@ImranPangilinan]

I really like this guy and his channels

[@pcmasterrace7699]

I could do all these expect cable managment and this video is so nice you feel like a genuis while watching this

[@halomunch]

tighten down DEEZ four NUTZ

[@Crunken]

Anyone know what programmes they use to edit theese videos? they look pretty sick :)

[@Redheadsrule13]

I'm pretty sure that they use Adobe Premiere and After Effects. The quality of production is pretty insane though. I'm so jelly of the editing that Edzel especially can do.

[@asmircar1]

Redheadsrule13 u also have to understand that their cameras are fucking pro stuff.....4k resolution and expensive shit...

[@RCPW]

Redheadsrule13 Editors been using material design transitions that makes it smoother and easy on the eyes. I was impressed that they're using those transitions across all their videos now.

[@Redheadsrule13]

xAsmir Yeah, but the editing I'm talking about is the material design styled stuff that Edzel does. The cameras are batshit insane as well, but it's more the animation skill that I admire.

[@EdzelYago]

Redheadsrule13 Thanks! Graphics were done all in After Effects. I've considered C4D to actually have material design in 3d space as the concept is supposed to represent (paper over paper) but I'm not sure the workflow is quick enough for the deadlines.

Mike's voice could put me to sleep 🥺 is so husky beautiful

[@matteohardwick1499]

[@chintanpopat1694]

nice to see your spirit when he told it was quiet enough ..after so much research one would totally lose his temper !

[@supernonameaccountbrolol]

Does anyone else think that the material design inspired intro is like super satisfying?
