Fan noise on pre-built systems

[Swaggletooth]

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone here could give me some indication of fan noise for several of the pre-built OC systems. The reason I ask is that one of my previous machines sounded like an aircraft (and that's something I'd like to avoid!!)

I've tried to google the fans used to get some idea, but since they're only marked as "AMD Approved CPU Cooler" and "Prolimatech CPU Cooler" it's a little too inspecific to find out what I need.

Long story short, I'm looking at getting either the Liberator X4 / Defender X4 / Titan Bayonet / Titan Dagger (this perhaps may be a little new for anyone to comment on). If anyone here can attest to how quiet these systems are, that would really help with making my choice.

It really depends

Each system can be configured as you like.One of the biggest factors for noise will be your choice of case,and the quality of the fans it comes fitted with.

In most case the fans preinstalled in cases are pretty jank.They are either really loud,or just really bad at moving air.

If you really want silence,after you pick the build you want post in the CS section or via email and ask for specific (quieter) fans to be fitted,you would have to pay for the fans you request but it wouldnt be a problem.

Same goes for the CPU cooler,its not clear if these builds use the stock heatsink or an aftermarket one.I assume its the stock one tho due to the Builds being somewhat budget orientated.Just ask for an aftermarket one

OK thanks, I guess I can get in touch via email to find out which of those is the quieter option.

For the meantime are there any particular fans / aftermarket CPU coolers that are recommended?
