Build A Silent Gaming PC

Differences from a Normal Gaming PC

In a normal gaming PC the CPU, GPU, power supply, and sometimes sections of the case can have their own fan. This may be fine in a regular gaming PC, but multiple fans in a computer can lead to too much noise. Thus, there are special considerations that can be made in an effort to reduce noise.

Liquid cooling is the best way to both keep components cool and silent. There exist kits that allow you to liquid cool the CPU and GPU simultaneously. Motherboards and RAM can also be cooled with water but are uncommon. This can greatly reduce the number of fans running in a PC at a given time. Another option is to create a waterproof case and submerge the whole system in [ mineral oil] or [ vegetable oil].

The makers of such liquid cooling kits include:

  • [ Koolance]
  • [ Xoxide]
  • [ Thermaltake]
  • [ Enzotech]
