good people let's tone down the volume just the litter with because today we've got something really spend our you seriously presenting with that hair hey you be quiet you want me to be silent is 801 and go base your accusations elsewhere so we're worried what I want to do what I want to do today is attempt to build a super quiet system running around 40 DB a which is the noise pressure decibel levels of like a library so that is definitely quiet using all be quiet components I mean it is in the name after all so let's see if we're successful right after this then you enter max lick fusion is their first addressable RGB all-in-one cooler with a standard 240 ml rad an absolutely beautiful RGB ring elimination on the fence and the pump to highlight that unique flow indicator through the transparent top check out the lick fusion down below now I want to preface this video by saying that making a silent system isn't all about the enclosure it's about the balance and the combination of all your hardware fan speed rpm you know are you getting coral wine from your GPU or not and like other things that introduce noise in terms of like airflow restriction and that air being turbulent and therefore causing noise so it's not necessarily all about the case but the case definitely helps and you know what helps us all the parts are used in this video will be linked in description below so that is our affiliate stuff helps us out make sure to check it out if you want to maneuver yourself into that silence right alright so this entire project is quite interesting to me because we have the 99 hundred K which is super hot so how do you approach balancing out silent operation of your entire system yet maintaining good temperatures number two is that we have the RT X 2080 I and the new z3 90 Taichi motherboard from asrock that perfectly blend together in terms of color coordination that is something that I'm super excited and because be quiet is kind of at the core of the system we have their new silent base 801 and I actually think this is my favorite be quiet case so for just because it's not super expensive it's $149 for totally solid side panels or the ten dollar premium for the tempered glass side panel it still offers the you know inverted motherboard layout like we saw with the dark base 700 and the 900 Pro and so I think it encompasses all those features into a pretty decent overall silent PC but of course airflow restriction is a thing and they have to kind of balance out silent focus so like these little air pockets on the side are there to prevent noise from leaking out but then there's definitely that hit on airflow it does come with three 140,000,000 rings two fans toward the front and one of the rear and the cool thing is that this entire like mid-tower frame can accommodate still quite a lot of airflow and water cooling options you can fit like up to a 420 radiator in the front and up to a 360 up top if you interesting changes that we see with this 801 enclosure is that the front panel is no longer brushed aluminum like we see on pretty much every single be quiet case here it's almost like sandblasted steel so cool texture to look at and also it doesn't leave any finger marks also the frame is almost like enclosed as you can see at the bottom there is no gap like we normally see with case feet instead case feet are always built in and there are small little gaps for airflow so you could potentially put this on the carpet but I think this design choice is mainly made for silence but this also means you cannot pick up the case like you normally would be able to by the front because there's no gaps there and don't try to lift it by the little gap in the front panel because that is how you actually remove the front panel and there is your access to the giant bottom dust filter the top panel is very much closed off for ventilation except for those few strips at the back but they have raised the top panels so that if there is any airflow coming out it will not necessarily bounce back there are some ventilation strips all along the top that you don't see but they're on the sides so with a low rpm fan like we have setup here the temperatures are actually pretty decent I also really like their new side panel mount with a button at the back to release the side panels and you kind of have to just align them and pop them back in so reinstallation is easy and it gives you that beautiful non interrupted glass on the side and a simple solid panel on the other you can also swap the side panels for that inverted motherboard layout but also if you want to showcase your cable management work put the glass panel on the other side and be good to go the interior is very much the same as what we've seen with dark bass 700 so a nice power supply shroud with modular plates up top that you can remove to either give you extra space at the front for the radio to fit through or clear up some additional room for ventilation for the power supply if it's facing up you can also put a fan there so plenty of options and you can close them off as you go we also have these five plastic covers that go over top your hard drive mounts we have three metal caddies included so you can use them for storage and you can also extend them slightly if you let's say need to route your USB cable like I have here with the USB 3 and this case does not support EA TX motherboards so keep that in mind we also have a fan controller at the back for 6 fans so there's either powered by SATA or a PWM cable via your motherboard and you control that via the toggle on the top IO for auto having the PWM connection and then one two three for those three speeds here we also have three USB ports two of which are USB 3 power reset buttons and audio jacks and obviously this is being part of the silent base series we have very thick noise dampening material on the rear panel and at the top and in the front panel too so it's pretty much spread all around and actually be quiet started a selling sound dampening material first and it's kind of great to see it really been thickened up for this edition versus what we see on like the dark bass series where it is much thinner alright enough about the case the rest of the components include the silent bloop 360 which is definitely needed for the really hot 9900 kay and to power that entire thing we have the dark power pro 11 1200 watt power supply so that thing is also extremely quiet and since we have like a pretty enthusiast 'im I don't want any noise coming from the power supply which has a really good fan and then it's completely silent I'll finally be able to play around with the wrong XIII Nadi Tai Chi which has a really beautiful design I must say it's not like this really flashy kind of like red and black type of scheme I really like the silver accent on there and the little gear heads on one of the heat sinks looks pretty awesome the reinforced PCI slots have become the norm for premium motherboards like it and we have triple-m de 2 slots which are the PCI speeds and non SATA and it's for power phases we have plenty of overclocking Headroom right out of the box it's just a matter of controlling those temperatures and to complement the 8 core 16 thread 9900 k we have the MSI r-tx 2080 ti Duke man what a monster card it is super powerful and you know I'm kind of like preparing myself to shifting away from the 80 600 K towards the 9900 K for my daily work station productivity slash gaming PC so it's a good start to like working around with these components and then putting them to good use in in the future alright I think it's time to roll the assembly procedure and now the system is complete I am pretty proud of how this whole thing turned out in terms of color coordination so all black components basically with some silver accents on the motherboard and the GPU and then also have the capo mod sleeves extensions for a 24 pin cable that really just jumps out and it's not like a boring 24 pin cable but kind of like really ties in to my gray and orange and black color scheme and turning all that RGB off and setting everything to orange for the elimination looks absolutely beautiful but the purpose of this build was to create something that was super silent so let's see how we did shall we now just to give you a perspective for these DBA readings a microwave here is about 56 DBA my bathroom with the window open so it's elected louder at 33 and my bedroom with everything completely closed is around 31 the first test is pretty successful and I think this is Fredd worthy so my original plan was to create a system that was as loud upload as it is at idle and I think we have achieved that perfectly while the video was rendering we were hovering around 33 DBA at one meter distance so if you were to walk into this room you will not actually be able to tell the system was on it just kind of like new blends in with the ambience and remember I have six fans in here three 140mm fans and three 120 but they are pure wings two fans and we can get even better airflow performance and silence operation with silent wings three so let's replace those now I love these plastic pegs for installation no need to take out the screwdriver she's back online and after the fan swamp what's interesting is that the DBA readings are about the same versus what we had before around 33 but the noise profile of the sound Winx three fans is different remember I have six fans in here and they're all running around a thousand rpm and that's my desire like bounds between achieving good temperatures and also good sound levels too but the sound noise profile here is different the sandbanks three produce slightly lower frequency hum versus with the pure wings too that had there was slightly higher pitched and therefore I guess more noticeable for me that's four frequencies and temperatures the 99 100k boosts itself to four point seven gigahertz stable throughout the entire render no issues there with the same voltage as before but the temperatures are around the same as well seventy five degrees Celsius on average course so pretty decent and I feel like you know the DBA level hasn't lowered by me switches switching out the fans but the noise profile has and I feel like this system with the same extry is perceived to be quieter but then what about noise levels while we're gaming so I've been in destiny 2 for half an hour the GPU has had enough time to warm up I got a blow a gaming session out of the way as well and I said the RT X xx ATI fan curve to 44% which is practically inaudible it does increase the overall DBA level for the system but we're still significantly under 40 I had to rethink my strategy because 40 is pretty loud so I think my target now has lowered to 35 which is what I'm happy with now here's an interesting fact during these tests I had to shut down my light because it has a heatsink and a fan and the fan is actually pretty loud when you put your ear to it that was interfering with my DPA meter so that thing is pretty loud especially when compared to like six fans in the system itself and one fan for the light and so for my intended usage of the system moving forward in terms of video production and gaming I am extremely satisfied at how silent I had to make this thing by lowering all the fans to 1000 rpm and just keeping the CPU at stock but not like really pushing it to five gigahertz because that's when things get kind of crazy so at four point seven that's the maximum boost clock for the CPU that it boosts itself - based on my temperatures I'm pretty happy with that and I'm not going to be pushing it any further because that would mean that I have to increase the faint speed and that would ruin the whole point but I would love for you guys to hear what the system sounds like when it's at load versus when the system is off so please turn up your volume and put on headphones so you can get the better understanding on how the system sounds so this is at load created em quiet all right guys now on to my conclusion I was honestly expecting slightly better temperatures with six fans in the system running at a thousand rpm but the CPU is extremely hot and the GPU balancing out around that 47% faint speed or like 44% fan speed is practically inaudible and reaches 80 degrees Celsius but if I bump the speed on the GPU to like 55% then my temperatures drop 10 degrees so it's like a fine balancing act between how how loud and how fast your rpm goes versus house island the system is and since the focus here was on silence then I can sacrifice a little bit of temperatures and I can confidently say that this is the most quiet system that I've ever built that is also the most powerful that has six fans in there and a 9900 ke that stays constantly cool below 80 degree Celsius when I'm gaming and rendering videos but it is always a fine balancing act between RPMs getting a little hit on temperatures because the rpm isn't you know too high and also depending on the case - like if this was completely open then it would be a different story for cooling but making sure that the system is quiet isn't all about the case it's about the hardware - and the RPM of those fans and there's always all the parts will be linked in
