Hello,
I'm looking to build a new rig at home. Although I am no stranger to creating a custom build for myself, its been a few years since I last did something like this.
My goal is to build myself a gaming rig that's silent (or near silent) when I'm using it for general run of the mill stuff like web browsing or doing office work. When I'm gaming, I often have a headset so I'm not to concerned about noise whilst gaming.
What I really want to know is, with regards to CPU, Graphics and optional case fans which are plugged directly into the motherboard, can these be switched off when certain tempreture conditions are met. For example, whilst CPU and Graphics card tempretures are sub 60 degrees, the fans are in fact switched off?
The sort of rig I'm looking to put together will most likely be an i5 chip with a 1060/1070 graphics card. I quite like the Asus motherboards as I have found them to be pretty reliable in the past (your experience may differ).
I know with certain PSU's (normally higher priced ones) the fan only spins when the unit is either under load or a tempreture condition is reached which activates the fan. In the past I also had an Antec case (I can't remember the model name) which I purchased specifically to hide the noise of interior fans (as the reviews indicated this particualr case did a good job off doing so) which worked quite well.
Any tips or recommendations you have in building quiet rigs would be most welcome.
Thank you in advance.
