Which Fractal case do you have? The Design R4 comes with these and are rated at 66CFM and 18.5 db. I was going to add a few more as the case will handle up to 7. Fractal Design Silent Series R2 FD-FAN-SSR2-140 140mm http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835352007

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
Yeah those look like mine I have 3 of them
Also the CPU cooler and the fan on the gpu I chased it down to the case fans - I would like quiter ones but if it's a pain I will just have to build a ISO cab Eventually after I get a room built, I won't have an issue aside from monitoring with a noisier floor Yeah I need an ISO cab

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
An iso cab would be nice. Most of the reviews on the Fractal fans mention how quiet they are, seems like they should be OK.

Regarding quiet case fans, this is the one: Noctua NF-S12A ULN. Quiet 120mm fan with a step-down adapter (so-called "ultra low-noise")

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
This will be my first build in 5 years since the pc I built myself based on the old Best Core 2 Series Desktops-Results and Specs thread. I’m still running Windows XP & Pro Tools 8. After all those years I decided the time has come to upgrade my system and to be honest I was a bit afraid that if I didn’t do it now I would never do it.
So, after doing a lot of research on this thread, reading countless reviews, etc, I took the first step and started buying the parts for my new pc. Things get a bit more complicated because I live in Brazil, so everything cost 2 or 3 times more, RMA is practically out of question and support near zero. Here’s the components I already bought: Antec P280 case Asus Sabertooth X79 LGA 2011 motherboard Zalman ZM750-XG power supply Zalman CNPS9900 Max CPU cooler DDR3 1.600MHz 16GB (4x 4GB) Corsair Vengeance - CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9 Intel Core i7-3820 (LGA2011 - 3,60GHz) - BX80619I73820SR0LD I’ll be using my old Digi 003 as interface and I’m considering to use my 5 years old Firewire SIIG NN-440012-S8 card for firewire connection. According to the product page on siig website it’s still on sell so I think that will be fine.Any thoughts about it? Also I have right now two options for graphic card: Gigabyte Gt630 2gb Ddr3 128 Bits Pci E - Hdmi Placa Video Gtx550 TI Gigabyte 1gb 192bit Gv-n550d5-1gi Ddr5 Price is not a huge issue, especially because the difference in price between both isn’t that big, but I'm really in doubt as to which to buy and I’d be very thankfull if someone could point me to the right direction. Well, that’s it. Thanks in advance for any help and sorry for my english. |

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
Good luck on your build. If you get the right components it should go flawlessly, it is so easy to build a computer these as long as you have a decent Internet connection - all the hardware finds its own drivers.
I spec'd out a complete system on Egghead - and then saw someone selling almost the exact same computer on Ebay for 1/2 the price - already built. I would hope and think you can find parts cheaper than 200% in Brazil, this is a world-wide business now. My parts totaled about $1400, and I got the co mputer already built for %700, and it has been working flawlessly. I am also using the Digi 003 (upgraded from an 002) - I love it, you know it is almost impossible to find a combination interface/control surface anymore. They have made them all separate. Anyway - it is WORTH the upgrade. I had a Pentium II with 1 GB ram running PTLE 8.05 (built in 2003); I just upgraded to an i7, 32 GB, SSD, 2 SATAs, and Protools 10 and it sounds so much better I was blown away. It is worth the cost - and don't think it is going to be hard to build, it shouldn't be. If it is, just hire someone to do it.
