What would be the loudest part of this build?

[matt_griff]

Hi,

I'm looking for a gaming PC that is as quiet as possible at full load.

I'm guessing the GPU would be the loudest part of this build, anyone know actually how loud and if it worth considering getting something different?

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Six Core 4.2GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £188.99
• 1 x MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £94.99
• 1 x Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER WindForce OC 8192MB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £349.99
• 1 x Corsair Professional Series HX 850W '80 Plus Platinum' Modular Power Supply (CP-9020138-UK)= £179.99
• 1 x Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B32= £69.95
• 1 x be quiet! Pure Base 500 Midi Tower Case - Black= £69.95
• 1 x WD Blue SN550 1TB NVME M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 Solid State Drive (WDS100T2B0C)= £124.99
• 1 x TeamGroup 1TB Vulcan SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps 3D NAND Solid State Drive= £89.99

Total: £1,182.04 (includes shipping: £13.20)​

Stock CPU cooler would certainly make noise, because Wraith Stealth isn't that much above Intel's stock buzzaws.

And that PSU is horribly expensive unless you intend to double all other parts.
This would be more in line with rest of the parts and actually could drop 100W more with such CPU and that level graphics card.

Also there are Radeon RX 5700 XT's for the price of that Nvidia. 2060 Super should be closer to £300 card, not 350.

Sorry should have said i all ready have the PSU out of another build, would have bought something a lot cheaper otherwise.

I think I can salvage a Noctua D15 from another build also.

My big decision at the moment is the graphics card.

GPU, no doubt.
Good airflow may help, if manually setting a not so aggressive fan curve.
With good airflow, and maybe some undervolt (if can be done to the same extend as AMD GPUs), may allow to have the fans at much more acceptable noise/speed, without compromising on temps.

No part of it would be loud but you'd hear the GPU more than the rest of it.

Go get a Gigabyte 2070 S Gaming. They run ridiculously cool because they have a huge heatsink. Alternately you can adjust the fan curve so they run pretty much silently.

Case fans or CPU fans I would say. I can't hear my 2070s over the case fans.
