Silent / Quiet PC?

[Tican]

Hey,

Are silent, or very quiet PCs possible? My current PC the sound literally travels throughout the house due to the way the house has been built. I have tried every combination possible to stop it.

Last time I upgraded my PC was in 2019 - and it's getting long in the tooth so good excuse to upgrade

Ryzen 5 3600 / 32 GB RAM / 3070 Ti (added since 2019)

Mainly use the PC for video editing, live streaming, DJing and Fusion 360 so any suggestions would be appreciated. Would prefer under 1k - including a case, and can keep the 3070 Ti for now

Rubber mats and mountings are your friends.

That could work! It is probably more the case causing the issues

If your stressing the components then decent cooling is required.

So what is causing the noise ?

What CPU cooler, case and PSU do you have ?

ThermalTake case fans, cheap AIO cooler (Raijntek) - MSI case and the PSU (probably underpowered) EVGA 650 GQ

Noise is from the fans, if the tower is on the desk, or something else hard it travels via the floorboards of the house. I have 2 cats so putting it on the floor isn't an option

what sort of wattage should I be looking for in a PSU?

I think for now then my plan might be a new case, fans, AIO, PSU (I will need all but the AIO anyway if I upgraded) - then go from there

Recommendations on fans would be appreciated also
