We are proud to announce our quiet fanned AMD PC housed in the fantastic Antec P101 Silent chassis, which is a perfect choice as it features sound insulation material throughout. At the core of the PC is an AMD processor which offer performance improvements compared to previous generations. The AMD processors incorporate multiple cores and threads, which allow them to excel at multi-core processing events such as gaming, video editing, photo-processing, while simultaneously running other programs. It is the perfect system for customers looking for an inconspicuous PC for general home / office use.
Only the quietest!
Our aim is to provide one of the world’s quietest AMD based PCs without compromising performance. We have therefore chosen only the best and quietest components for this PC. The AMD processors are supplied with a CPU cooler, which are reasonable in terms of quietness. But we highly recommend that you opt for one of the coolers in the configurator as they will not only perform better but will also be much quieter. Our recommendation is the Noctua NF-U12S SE-AM4 which is an excellent CPU cooler and being from Noctua it is exceptionally quiet.
As for graphics, we have only made available either totally fanless cards or cards that can run semi-passively, meaning the fan will only rotate when the GPU exceeds a certain temperature. This means that only noise will be generated when you are pushing the PC, for example during gaming or while running other graphical programs. Alternatively, you may want to opt for a processors that includes Radeon Vega Graphics. This not only negates the use of a discrete graphics card but it will also reduce the overall cost of the system. See “Graphics Card Options” below for more information.
Choice of motherboard
The Ryzen Serenity is configurable with a choice of two motherboard. Both motherboards are from ASUS, the PRIME X470-Pro and the PRIME B450-Plus. The main difference between them is the chipset used. The X470 offers more features over the B450. For example the X470 has more USB3.1 (gen1) ports, more SATA ports and also supports Nvidia SLI. The X470 also has two USB3.1 (gen2) ports, one Type-C and one Type-A, whereas the B450 has two Type-A USB3.1 (gen2) ports. The below images show the differences between the I/O ports found at the rear of the PC.
Graphics Card Options
Some of the processors available with this system have integrated graphics, but there are some that don’t. This can be a little awkward when configuring the system, as to whether a discrete graphics card is needed or not. To try an make things clearer all processors that include built-in graphics have the following, “with Radeon Vega Graphics” in their product name.
The number within “Radeon Vega Graphics” indicates how many graphics cores each processor has. For example, the AMD Ryzen 5 2400GE with Radeon Vega 11 Graphics, has a total off 11 graphics cores. The larger the number the greater the performance.
Storage considerations
When specifying your new PC’s storage options using our system configurator below, you will be offered a choice of drives which vary by price and capacity. There are two primary types of storage. A conventional hard disk drive (HDD) offers huge storage capacity for a low price, but it won’t be especially fast and it will generate a certain amount of running noise since it contains a constantly-rotating spindle. A solid state (SSD) or a M2 drive on the other hand, offer tremendous speed and absolutely silent operation, but they cost more than an HDD for any given capacity.
So if you need a lot of storage space (for videos or large quantities of digital photos for example), then we would recommend an HDD. On the other hand, if you prefer silence and speed (especially boot-up speed), then an SSD or M2 drive would be a better choice. Of course, you can have more than one drive, so you could have the best of both worlds by choosing one of each! We recommend that customers choose an SSD or M2 drive as a boot drive that contains the operating system and important programs. A conventional HDD would store other data but remember that if you intend to have a totally silent PC, you might want to forgo the HDDs altogether as they will make some noise due to their moving parts.
Clean Build™ Promise
The price of many pre-built PCs these days is often supported by cash kickbacks from software companies who pay hardware manufacturers to pre-install limited or trial versions of their software and then hope that the customer pays to upgrade to the full version. The downside to this approach is that the new PC comes pre-loaded with a lot of “junkware” which bloats the operating system and can cause severe performance degradation.
Here at Quiet PC we believe that customers have every right to expect the best possible performance from a brand new PC, so every system we build comes with our Clean Build™ promise. We install the operating system (if you order one), motherboard drivers, OS updates and Microsoft Security Essentials / Windows Defender - that’s it. You won’t be pestered by pop-ups and nag screens and you can get on with using your new PC immediately without having to uninstall lots of junkware first. Your new machine will boot in super-quick time and will stay running quickly for many months and years to come.
Free hardware support and fully inclusive warranty
We offer free hardware technical support for as long as you own the machine. This support covers any hardware query or problem, including advice on maintenance and upgrades. We regret we can’t offer software support or training so we would recommend contacting the software vendor in this instance.
Our hardware warranty runs for two years and is “collect and return” meaning that you don’t need to worry about getting the machine back to us - we will instruct our courier to collect it from you on a day of your choosing, then after we have checked and repaired it, we will send it back to you by express courier at our expense. In addition, unlike many other PC suppliers, we have an “open-case” policy which means you are free to open the machine and perform your own minor modifications or upgrades without worrying that your warranty might be affected.
