Тихая сборка для Эсти

Собрал новый ПК для Эсти. Основным приоритетом была тишина, потому что её очень сильно раздражает шум, который издаёт ноутбук. Конечно хотелось, чтобы шли все современные игры, чтобы ничего не глючило и чтобы этого железа хватило на несколько лет, чтобы вообще не думать ни про какие апгрейды. А ещё, чтобы весь сетап был белый, потому что так захотелось мне.

Корпус be quiet! Pure base 500DX white — тихий белый корпус с хорошей звукоизоляцией и отличными тихими вентиляторами в комплекте.

Материнская плата MSI MAG B760 Mortar max WiFi — в неё все влезает, есть вайфай, хорошие радиаторы и встроенный звук.

Процессор Intel Core i5 13400F — более менее холодный процессор, но достаточно производительный, чтобы тянуть видеокарту и DDR5 память.

Видеокарта Gigabyte RTX 4060 Ti Aero OC 16 Gb — брать что-то более старое смысла не было, а у этой версии запас видеопамяти и отличное охлаждение с центральной вертушкой в противофазе. И еще она белая.

Оперативная память DDR5 Kingston Fury Beast white 32Gb — в 24 году не DDR 5 наверное ��же неправильно, а еще я люблю Kingston.

Диск SSD M2 Kingston Fury Renegade 1 Tb, очень быстрый, правда чёрный, но под радиатором на материнке не видно.

СЖО XPG Levante X240 — самая тихая, не свистящая и не пердящая водянка по отзывам. Вроде не соврали.

Блок питания Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 Snow 850W — сертификат 80+ Gold и белые провода. Что еще надо для счастья?

Монитор Andor Gaming AF24H1 FullHD 144Hz IPS — внезапно топ за свои деньги с такими характеристиками, за исключением родного кронштейна.

Клавиатура Dark Project KD87A Gateron teal — белоснежная механика с линейными свичами, шумкой, стабами и адресной подсветкой в том числе кириллицы.

Мышь Logitech Signature M650 — про эти мыши я уже писал, они офигенно лежат в руках и кликают тихо. Так же есть белая версия.

Кронштейн ONKRON G80 — единственный минус монитора выше — огромная нога, которая занимает пол стола. Хороший кронштейн избавляет от этого недостатка.

На столе ещё удачно вписалась лампа Xiaomi Mi Led 1S, но она у нас уже давно была.

В целом я очень доволен тем, что получилось, даже немного по-доброму завидую, потому что мой ПК уже старьё по сравнению с этим 😊

Главное, что он вышел действительно очень тихим даже на высоких нагрузках, так что цель достигнута.

Long, short, one-liner... it's all good reading. Tag five other authors where you are curious.

Here is a messy witcher snippet from 2021 which was part of a longer plotty story that never went anywhere. But this mostly was me embracing Jaskier as a Disney Princess and finding my way to Jaskier and Geralt's netflix dynamic and voices. Only remembered this because @littlestsnicket and I were talking about jaskier and geralt and music recently.

the original fic title was actually called Counterpoint of Disaster and got too big and messy for me to deal with. but this snippet should whet your appetite!

jaskier & geralt. case fic vibes. 850w. rated T.

Jaskier ambled along the stretch of road beside a fence, strumming his lute and humming. The sun was easing itself behind the peaks of the Mahakams and the shadow was creeping along the meadow. At the top of a sloping hill, Jaskier noticed a dot that resembled a cow. 

He perched himself on the fence and he resumed his song, uncertain he could project his voice enough for the cow to hear him.

But it did. The cow moseyed down the hill towards him. By the time it was half-way to Jaskier on the fence two more cows appeared at the top of the hill.

Amused, Jaskier sang louder. The ambling cow continued its approach with its companions making their way to Jaskier’s little stage. His fingers danced along the strings. Swing that scythe dawn to dusk with weary shoulders, to home and hearth your wife… All variations on a satisfying theme. A hard day's work followed by ale and love at home only to wake up and do it all over again. Music to rejuvenate oneself for the next day’s work.  

The cows mooed upon their approach and Jaskier played on. Three more cows appeared on the horizon and they herded each other down the hill towards him.

“Not my usual audience,” Jaskier said and laughed. He tilted his head and adjusted his posture, a smile tugging at his lips. “I wonder…” he murmured. He began playing a lighthearted song of a young maiden’s carefree day. 

He was halfway through the chorus and was deeply amused by the nearly dozen cows standing in front of him. By the time Jaskier was on the final verse another three cows had joined them, shouldering their way closer.

Jaskier continued to hum and sing, plucking a cute little melody for the attentive audience. He received some lowing in return and he laughed. “Happy cows indeed. Who knew I had fans afield. Will a good song produce sweet milk?” he asked them.

His fingers danced along the strings, improvising nonsense and one of the soft-eyed cows wandered right up to the fence and offered him an insistent moo before nudging his knee with its snout.

“I would definitely consider tips in the form of cheese,” Jaskier said and gave the cow a gentle pat on the side of her face. 

His hand came away wet and he was about to wipe the cow snot away when he saw his hand was crimson.

Jaskier gagged and nearly wiped the blood on his clean trousers. He stopped himself just in time and wobbled on the fence.

“Uh, Geralt?” Jaskier called. “There’s some bloody cows over here.”

“There’s a farm nearby,” Geralt said, sounding like he replied without looking up.

“No, I mean they look like they rolled around in a pool of blood,” Jaskier said.

Two of the cows pushed forward as if to ask why he’d stopped playing. They crowded Jaskier enough and pushed at his knees with soft blood-covered snouts. Jaksier unwound his legs from the fence to lean forward for a closer look. Then they were all at his knees at once.

Jaskier wobbled.

The cows mooed.

Jaskier flailed and threw up his arms with his lute, instinctively protecting it as he fell.

He landed hard.

Jaskier wheezed. Pulled the lute close to his chest, cradling it amidst the pain.

He opened his eyes, not realizing he’d closed them. Geralt leaned on the fence, looking at the assembled cows.

“I think they were going to take a bite out of me,” Jaskier rasped. Geralt held out an arm and when Jaskier grabbed it he was heaved upward like it was nothing, again reminding him of Geralt’s effortless strength. He spread his feet and tried to gain his bearings but he’d fallen harder than he realized because the ache persisted in his chest and back. He rubbed the back of his neck and the back of his head and took a step backwards from the fence. 

“Wouldn’t be the first creature to try,” Geralt said and climbed over the fence for a closer look. The frown on the witcher’s face worried Jaskier. The eager brown cow, hungry for more song didn’t appear blood-thirsty in the slightest despite the blood-matted fur indicating otherwise.

“Did they make a grand escape from the butcher? One last dinner before they became dinner?” Jaskier said. 

“I doubt it,” Geralt said. He was reaching out to the animal and touching the side of her face, peering at her eyes and ears before doing a cursory check of her mouth before moving on to the rest of her body. She paid Geralt little heed and when she mooed it started a chain reaction from the others.

“The blood is human. At least a day old,” Geralt said and moved on to examine the other eager cow who hung her head over the fence like she was waiting for Jaskier to resume his song.

“So they were trying to take a bite out of me. This is definitely a mystery in the making: The Mystery of the Bloody Cows,” Jaskier said.

I just ordered a bunch of pieces parts that I'm gonna turn into a computer.

I've built systems before, like eh 15 years ago or more, and I cannot overstate how delightful it is that the persistence of modularity means that while the system I'm building now will be functionally the equivalent of dozens of times the power of the computer I built then, the bones of it are all pretty similar.

Motherboard. Cpu. Cooler. Power supply. RAM. Storage. Case. Fans. Graphics card. Operating system. Monitor.

Now some things have changed. You can now buy literally everything with vivid rainbow lights, and for a few minutes I stared at the pretty modern cases with their windows and rave -like interiors, and dreamed of the gayest computer on the planet.

Then I remembered that I'm a photophobic mushroom who computers in a darkened room and hates bright high contrast lighting and spent more dollars to get a case without a window.

Also, water cooling terrifies me. Not because the idea is unsound but because while I'm confident in my ability to insert tab a into slot b to assemble a computer by going slowly and following instructions, the very notion of me handling liquids around electronic components sounds inherently fraught.

So I did not go with components which require such things.

Infodumping below the cut.

(for the curious: fractal design define r5 case, msi pro z790-p WiFi ddr4 mobo, i5136000kf (14 core), 64gb ddr4 RAM, radeon rx6800 16gb, deepcool ak400 zero dark plus cooler, 4x 140mm case fans, Corsair 850w modular platinum ps, 1 tb ssd for the os and a 2tb ssd for the games, both pcie4x4 nvme, and a curved 27 inch 2k monitor. This is upgrading from a 2015 laptop which is still very robust with an i76700 quad core processor, 16gb RAM, 1tb ssd and a gtx950m 4gb graphics card which just this year stopped meeting minimum specs for the games I want to play. I figure the new system could last me another 8-10 years.)

Is 64 gb of ram overkill? Hahahaha yes. But it's about a hundred bucks. Is 3tb overkill? No but it's also about 120 bucks. Do I need a 27 inch monitor? Mayyyybe but it's $200. The real splurge is the video card and CPU, but I'm not going to regret those at all when I'm playing starfield and bg3.

(I'm also going to play every game I've been playing at low settings on ultra just because I can. Subnautica is gonna be so pretty.)

Interestingly, the parts come with three games, including the one I initially decided to build a system for (starfield). The processor comes with assassin's creed mirage and something I didn't recognize. Going with Intel for the processor and AMD for the GPU ended up being very much in my favor that way as if I'd gone ryzen, I'd have ended up with two copies of starfield.

I think the last time I built a system from scratch it had 4-8 gigs of RAM and a 2gb video card and maybe a dual core cpu maybe not. I've done some bare bones systems since then and a lot of upgrades, but not from-the-ground-up.

Amusingly, while doing this, I thought I was going to hand my laptop down to my son. Then I realized that in a pandemic fugue state in 2021 I bought him and my husband computers with part of the stimulus that were basically maxed out refurb systems that somehow are running 32g of RAM each and the only real weakness in their systems are graphics, which hubby doesn't use and which can be easily upgraded for my son for like <$150 to double his vram.

I have minimal memory of buying these systems but it makes sense for how little they complain about them. (old Dell optiplex systems. I think I spent 400 on each of them at the time. With upgrades.)

So since I've been hyperfixated on this process I've been watching a lot of pc building YouTube and it's been very helpful but also very popcorn. So much drama. Le gasp.

My one regret about not getting a flash light up system with lots of rgb is that it would impress the hell out of my 11 year old but I seriously can't deal with that much light up distraction and the extra cost for the components has been spent on a better GPU.

Anyway this is all going to be much cheaper than trying to find a system with equivalent stats prebuilt, and it's been a while since that was true when I was in the market for a computer.

[littlefreya]

Thank you so so much for letting me share this with you and for your feedback ❤️!! So, my idea is that the gaming PC should be able to play all current and upcoming games on very or ultra-high settings without any issues (e.g. Alan Wake 2, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Horizon Forbidden West, etc.), be silent and not overheat quickly and have good airflow, and have space for expansions and/or upgrades.

Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow RGB Edition, glass window, white CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 8x 4.2GHz, 96MB L3 cache or AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D, 12x 4.4GHz, 128MB L3-Cache => I'm a bit indecisive on which one here. Mainboard: Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX, AMD B650 Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 12GB, Gigabyte Aero OC RAM: 32GB DDR5-6000 Corsair Vengeance RGB, 2x 16GB, white SSD: 2TB Western Digital Black SN850X, read up to 7.300 MB/s Power supply: 850W Corsair RMe 2023, fully modular CPU cooler: Corsair iCUE H100i RGB Elite, white, 240mm

It's a bit on the pricey side, but I'm willing to order it if it can do well and I don't need to upgrade it in a bit, especially, because I don't think there'll be many more games with higher graphics as there are currently.

Hey love, that's a kickass build!!! I would go for the Ryzen 9 7900X3D instead. Simply because it's stronger and this is a purchase that should last you for a few years. Series 7 is great but there is a 10% more chance for a bottle neck.

My rule of thumb is always to go a bit over with the PSU because if your PSU dies, then it can take your entire PC with it. (It happened to me once, and it was painful!!!) Having said that, I think the minimum for 4070 RTX is 750W, but I would go with 900, perhaps just to be sure. It's not a must.

As for RAM. Go for 64. They are not that expansive and also DDR5 are incredible. I have the Vengence as well :).

[bathalafiction]

what kind of PSU's are you getting? lmao

DON"T get ones from aliexpress or any from unnamed/unknown brands, and always get the ones that have an 80+ gold/platinum rating, here are a few

Amazon.com: NZXT C750 PSU (2022) - PA-7G1BB-US - 750 Watt PSU - 80+ Gold Certified - Fully Modular - Sleeved Cables - ATX Gaming Power Supply : Everything Else

Amazon.com: Cooler Master MWE Gold 850 V2 Full Modular, 850W, 80+ Gold Efficiency, 2 EPS Connectors, 120mm HDB Fan, Semi-fanless Operation, 5 Year Warranty : Electronics

Amazon.com: Corsair RM750e (2023) Fully Modular Low-Noise Power Supply - ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 Compliant - 105°C-Rated Capacitors - 80 Plus Gold Efficiency - Modern Standby Support - Black : Electronics

Amazon.com: LIAN LI SP 850 80+ Gold, White Color, Performance SFX Form Factor Power Supply - SP850 White : Electronics

I forgot what the rating of my PSU is, but I doubt I got the corsair though. Still, the PSU I have now is working fine. I'm not sure wtf is going on with my PC and I'm afraid it's the CPU or motherboard that's the issue

[nightmaretour]

Weird thing to rant about but I hate when microwavable foods only have instructions for 850w or 900w microwaves as if nobody is poor or has little kitchen space anymore

Feeling slightly better about spending two months researching, buying, and putting together my gaming PC this summer…

(with an 850W PSU. The system gets toasty 😅)

Fifteen years ago it was common knowledge that if you wanted to buy a gaming PC, the first thing you did with it should always be to replace the fans, heat sinks and power supply with hardware that doesn't suck, because they always cut corners on those components to increase their profit margins, and it turns out a midrange tower will often outperform a top-of-the-line model that's suffering from constant voltage drops and running thirty degrees over the recommended operating temperature. I've been idly looking into the possibility of upgrading lately, and I cannot believe the situation has gotten even worse in that span. I just saw a pre-built box from a major brand sporting a GeForce 40 series running on a 400 watt PSU. Dude, what the fuck.
