- In this video I take a look at the acoustic performance of my latest scratch built PC. Is it quieter than a heartbeat? Let's find out!
Musicians and video editors would appreciate a PC like this I reckon.

couldn't hear the video over the sound of my computer :/
Ahaha
Same well i overloaded it with my 302 command prompts open in my pc LOL
+Tim Jiang Was on my way to say that :(
ikr
ditto had to put headphones on long before he suggested
Aaaaaan here I sit with a tornado trapped in a box :'(
+Peksy I always wonder how long its gonna take before my PC goes airborne.
Niek eedy My PC's 'exhaust' is at the back, so if I put some wings on it it would fly!
well at least you never have to clean the room from dust, its all collected inside....you know^^
***** better than mine
i have an r7 240 and a core 2 duo
was about to upgrade to quad but...
steam winter sale...
TroyRedstone I have a pc with a Firepro v5800 and a core 2 quad

I support youtubers, I have a heart :))
MrHD71
but can you hear it over your pc?
Pathfinder3877 lol XD
hahah youre so funny, funny looking xD
this video uncomfortably turned into a ASMR video.
AurisLTL What on earth is ASMR? Not the first time it's been mentioned.
sound videos made for relaxation in general.and if someone in the video has to talk then they whisper dunno why though never really got them.
DIY Perks You might get a tingly sensation when you you hear a particular type of music or noise. ASMR videos are specifically made to trigger that and they end up being extremely creepy. Lots of very close whispery talking.
Abraxian Absolution Well, that's weird.
AurisLTL Believe it or not, that's what I thought too :D
And now i'm extremely iritated by my pc's sound... thx a bunch
honestly i never cared about the sound of the fans. i have 1 in the back 3 on top and 3 front and all spins at 100% all the time.
just shut your pc down and its quieter
go to the gunniess records for the quietest computer
That award could go to pretty much any smartphone. They are, after all, essentially computers.
+DIY Perks I believe another channel (or you... I have bad memory as to who it was) actually went and got the dBa of their computer measured in a quiet room. Apparently they were good, but not "that" good as there was electrical noise which could be measured pretty well (still virtually inaudible though if you ask me). (I think it may have been either linus or jayz as I watch those channels regularly as well). Huge fan of this build though, wish I could order one or knew how to "DIY" well enough to not waste countless hours on a half finished project (I am pretty sure I will give up when I'm about 200 hours in and finally managed to bend the aluminum sheet right)
+DIY Perks You could just say "pretty much every computer that is passively cooled".
+zypity It was Linus he tried building a completely silent PC but i doubt it was anywhere near as silent as this
***** I'm with you man. You're so right!
It's funny how you have all of these huge company's. Asus, gigabyte, corsair, coolermaster etc all spending huge amounts of money to make fans and coolers work with less noise and this guy has surpassed all of it in his own home. I know they have specifications to meet like graphics cards have a limit to shape and size etc but this is still absolutely amazing! Great job!
They do that because people want them, not because they want to. People like to overclock, to do water cooling and so on.
They work in a way they can keep making money, because there will be always a newer, stronger, better item to buy. If they made a nearly perfect computer, they would be disgraced
Syuna did your iMac cost £40?
Syuna if his computer is inaudible to the human ear, how can yours be quieter?
But manufacturers of hardware have regulations to adhere to, with regards to electromagnetic interference and such. Using a "open" PSU design like this, wouldn't satisfy the regulations for electrical safety for example. But keeping in mind, that in my custom watercooled gaming system, the PSU fan actually never runs, because it doesn't get hot enough (Corsair RM1000i unit), then certainly some manufacturers do some things right. Hardware design isn't simply about function over form, as is the case with this PC enclosure. The "cool factor" of how it looks, how easy it is to work with, ability to fit many different hardware combinations, are all things that are very important when designing consumer goods. As soon as you only need to make a computer enclosure to fit one single configuration, that doesn't need to be upgradeable, well then making something that is essentially silent, suddenly becomes a whole lot easier.
it is so refreshing to see someone who is so openly passionate about their work on youtube in such a humble manner. props to you mate, love the work
Should be titled "the quietest computer you'll never hear"
Oh just what I said XD
lol copied comment.
Computer ASMR hahahahha great video!
I checked the comments to see if anyone brought up ASMR, haha!
+Relaxing Harm I linked it on Reddit :D
Ha!
LinusTechTips you need to talk to this guy, he has some super quiet computer. Great video and keep up the good work
now we need a company that builds and sells them for all the people that are to lazy/tecnically incapable to making it themselfe (me included)
he should open a shop for us to buy them
There are system building companies that specialize in silent PCs. Some of them have models without any moving parts, but they'll charge you an arm and a leg.
If you just want a silent workstation, you can probably figure something out with just an android smartphone, an MHL cable, and some bluetooth peripherals.
Abraxian Absolution If you are willing to drop a couple thou puget systems is a good option.
he should sell that sexy design to fractal!
2 Passive coolers, and an ssd is all you need, if you remove all case fans
Mine sounds like a helicopter :/
G4mer 4ddict mine's sounded like a fking jet fighter
I actually love the sound of a hard drive, it makes me feel at home.
Seriously, nothing beats a barely audible hard drive starting up.
Yes and you it's working but I don't use a hard drive :(
+Tim Stahel (Moustached Viking) I love the scritchy-scritchy noise they make when they're reading or writing, it's really satisfying for some reason.
Prince Polaris It's like the sound of a modem starting up, just makes me feel good.
+Tim Stahel (Moustached Viking) Yesssss, that one too, and my current desktop has this satisfying clunk it makes as the fans all spin up at once, not to mention the 1996 PC in my closet with a super-satisfying power button, it's got an awesome... deep click, like you're hitting a nuclear launch button or something, I'm nto sure how to describe it
+Tim Stahel (Moustached Viking) My old ATI 5870 would "rev" its fan when my computer turned on. No doubt, one of the coolest things of my first build.
Your videos are top notch. Interesting subjects, good narration, nicely shot and edited.
Your results are amazing! Thanks for sharing all 3 videos.
The sound qualiy of your video projects is amazing,could you give us basic information about?

quieter than rubbing your fingers together and a heart beat, jeezz thats quiet lol. well done man.
Thank you for the ideas, I been trying to think what to do with my pc case and it helps me a lot all that you have showned with all you have done, it has given me an idea of what to do next.
The best part of this is how legitamately excited and amazed he looks at the quietness of his computer.
yeah totally
DIY Perks Matt, I for one really enjoy these types of videos as well as your "simplier" videos. It was nice to be involved in an updated version to your wooden PC case (of which the videos first introduced me to your channel). One of the reasons I subscribed to your channel was due to your creativity and ideas, big and small. I'm sure it took up a lot of time to make a case like the one in this "mini series" as well as creating the videos around it all; I appreciate you bringing us with you through it all and look forward to more large and just as useful creative ideas in the future.
Cheers!
Osman Carim I'm happy to hear you're liking my content!
Paradise for ears especially when rendering during night :)
The heart beat test was awesome, great idea, great build, great video. You have a new sub.
Loved it! Absolutely loved it! I watched the whole experience and was glad I did. Great job on such a silent beast of a machine. Can't wait to see what you'll cook up next!
LOL!, Wasnt expecting the heartbeat. Great vid, I want that computer!
the heartbeat vs computer bit was awesome
I just adores this video, fantastic in every way and your enthusiasm and excitement is contagious! I had a wide grin from ear to ear when I watched this one! Love the channel!
If I could, I would give this video as many likes as I could! I have a facination with silent computers as well, and I love the ideas that you have with building a silent computer! Every time I see one of your videos, I stop what ever it is that I'm doing, and rush to see what you have come up with! Keep up the excellent work!
Your PC needs SSDs to be even more silent! :D
Haha, I never thought that I'd live to see the day when a dude builds a computer so quiet he could compare it's sound to a heartbeat.
Wonderful wonderful wonderful. Thank you for sharing and doing this as this is same kind of stuff I pursue often. Keep it up as you have a high level of professionalism with audio, video, effects, zooms/pans, etc. Very good work overall.
Dude I love your videos, I love the way you comment and talk. keep it up!
Since I generally play with headphones on, a totally silent computer isn't a priority, but performance is. It's really cool that you can have the fans at such a low speed to keep it cool enough to perform, but my question is if you increase the fan speed to a higher level and forcibly make things even cooler at the risk of a slightly louder computing, would your performance be even better than previously? I'd love to see a proper performance test of your computer running in "Silent mode" vs your computer running on a higher fan speed with cooler temps.
If by performance you mean lower temps, yeah, that'd probably happen with higher fan speeds. You won't see any faster framerates or renders though, because the components are kept cool enough anyway to avoid thermal throttling. That was the whole idea with the design. :)
+DIY Perks Brilliant
+Nicolas Bustamante GPU boost will not work with a GTX 460 i believe that the GPU Boost Technology didnt come out until the GTX 600 series of cards.
you will see alot less temps with any watercool sistem thus more space to overclock thus better overall performence .. under decent sound aswell that you would not hear with headphones on, still a nice design. Not to mention ... you will not be able to do a three way SLI with CPU coolers on GPU's..
What about temps and bemchmarks !
dvem4e I forgot to cover the temps :( will upload a quick video about them after the weekend
ya, same question.. how about the vga and processor temp..
wait for that..
DIY Perks Will be much appreciated ....because with all this quite PC usually it means hot PC if not under water ......!
DIY Perks dude this video was awesome
You are absolutely brilliant. Found your videos because of a hard drive issue. Fixed it with your help, and then decided to check out some more. That's when I ran into your incredible computer. love the way you explain everything in such a nice and clear tone. Congrats, keep up the good work, you got yourself a new fan ^.~
i was very impressed when i was able to hear your heartbeat over the computer. very nice build and great video buddy
we get it!!!! iits quiet !!!!!!!
XD haha
OW! MY EARS!
be quiet.
shut up
So much talent. You're not just a desktop nerd, you can build stuff!! That's really cool. You should become an entrepreneur or something :)
Really great stuff. I love it, please keep them coming.
That's the most amazing thing I've seen on TH-cam this week. The heartbeat comparison is astounding.
The quietest computer you'll never hear.
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
@@Rodrigo-qz5lj blast from the past
@@CeasiusC wow. sup dude
The saliva noise though
Thank you for sharing all of this videos your content its really unique and I am really glad you keep sharing your projects.
This is the best demonstration of computer noise levels I have ever seen. Finally someone who knows how to tangibly show this. Great video, and great channel!
Petition to change the title to "The Quietest Computer You'll NEVER Hear"
This desktop PC is amazing! It's quiter than my cat!!
But i don't like the backup system that you activate with the button on the top.
I mean, It's a great idea, but i think that a button that is directly linked to the power supply is dangerous for the disk.
If it is "backupping" something (writing/reading some data) and you accidentally press the button, the disk will immediatly shut down.
In many cases it means loss of a lot of data and sometimes even the breaking of the entire disk. I speak from a personal experience :)
However this is a enviable PC! 😁
Michele Favaretto Glad you like the PC! Hard disks have what's called 'disk cache'. What happens is that, if the disk looses power whilst it's still writing data, it writes what's left in the cache to the platters whilst they spin down. The idea is to prevent data loss in the event of a power failure etc.Also, when you shut down a PC, the disk doesn't have an 'off' mode - the PSU simply shuts off and the disk looses power, just like what's happening when the backup button is turned off. Been using it for a while and it's been working fine, so I don't think there's too much to worry about :)
Danielle Lowe
We'll have to agree to disagree here Danielle. Using a power button for the HDD is no more going to damage it than shutting down a computer does, or unplugging an external HDD etc. IE, it doesn't damage it.
Part of my wanting to have the HDD disconnected from the PSU when not actually backing up is that, if for some reason a PSU dies, it can take out all components attached to it. Having it unplugged unless actually backing up adds yet another layer of protection.
Michele Favaretto Danielle Lowe
Do you actually think hard drive manufacturers haven't thought of that? the drive will always slowdown and retract the retention arm before shutting down and no cutting the power doesn't effect that, because again they will have thought of that.
As for shutting it down during writes without unmounting it that can only corrupt files on the drive same with usb-drives, but that's due to FAT and ntfs' lack of journalling and just btw windows has a "build"-in safety for that as well.
But yeah my point being, there's not shut down mechanism in hard drives they are meant to plug and play today.
@ "off" feature that's meant to turn of the power to safe energy consumption windows does that automatically on secondary drive as well and "its why when installing updates you see it hover at certain % before shutting down and re-booting" where on earth did you hear that?
So called Green drives like the ones from WD are simply more energy efficient and run at lower spinning speeds that about it.
DIY Perks Hi Matt. Congrats on this build :)
The best approach here (if you haven't already done that) is to get in the BIOS (from experience, latest ASUS BIOS'es do have that option) and setup the port this drive is connected to as a "Removable drive". That way you get a quick remove option in the tray for this particular drive. After selecting the option to disconnect it, the cache is flushed, the drive will indeed spin down and power off. It is 100% safe to disconnect the power supply after that.
I will indeed try your approach at a custom case at one point, it is just too tempting :)
Portentous Lad NTFS is a journalling file system. File corruption or data loss can and likely will occur if you unplug a drive when it's writing data no matter what file system you use.
I need one of those casings my man, you really outdid yourself gj and keep the good work!
You are REALLY excited about this computer.
With damn good reason. Excellent job, man. Excellent job.
Well, so much for my new Fractal Design Define R5.
dude with a few money you can start a company and I'll be the first to buy xD

Enjoyed the enthusiasm, and inventive ways of demonstrating something that is not there! :-)
That was amazing.
Thank you very much for making this video--I thoroughly enjoyed it.
can u do an asmr video

The Quietest Computer You'll Ever NOT Hear...
I actually really like your methodology, in the end most people(me) don't know what to think about 20-30 db or what not. This gives me a much better idea thank some numbers.
May I link this vid in a post on the LinusTechTips Forum? I'm sure Linus Sebastian would really like your build too.
Portentous Lad Sure, I don't mind if you link to it. It's much appreciated, in fact!
Matt, I'd just like to say that I love the videos you produce and they're truly inspiring to the average tinkerer. It's been great watching your channel grow, and I hope it continues!
Please keep up the good work you are doing already. Your videos and projects are top notch and you presentation skills great. Kudos :)
ASMR Perks
I wish I had the confidence to hack a video card to make such a silent PC. The coil whine on my 380X is so annoying
He made a video on making a GPU cooler quieter. haven't tried it, but take a look.
Thanks!
absolutely gorgeous build, you are an artist.
This is fantastic. Awesome work! Please upload a temperature and benchmark video please, it's what I've been most waiting for!
don't you mean "The Quietest Computer You'll Never Hear..."?
Nice ;D
BCUZ its so silent that you cant hear it -_-
My PC sounds like a helicopter taking off, when it's IDLE, I think it's about time I upgraded the acoustic characteristics a bit lol
Really impressive build ! Very very nice job ! :)
Well done! nice experiment and great success!
*The Quietest Computer You Will Never Hear...
Why ON EARTH wouldn't you use the NT1-A for the Narration?
The Dark One Because the little narration mic sounds almost as good, and fits my voice. That said, I've since started using the NT1-A, as it does offer smoother reproduction. Only 1% of viewers might notice the change, however.
5:05 is like a nerds David Attenborough commentary!
Great project, love your ideas.
amazing Matt! well done!
Hey you're still using a Htc one x, same here :D
Salza Yeah, I don't see the point in upgrading until it breaks. I mean, it's a phone... it does what the rest of them do. :)
DIY Perks Lol u think u guys are retro? Im Still on the Xperia Ray! XD looks immaculate as the day i bought it, but a phones a phone, My PC does everything else I need, love your videos :D You sound like such a nice guy! In the middle of building my new gaming PC right now in the NZXT phantom case (always wanted that case) keep up the great videos sir :D
Salza +1 Also still on my HTC One X. Just exchanged the battery 3 weeks ago. It's back to new now :)
HTC One, I guess one of the best phones I had. But talking about the phone, have anyone noticed the blinking from the proximity sensor? Was it it, that was blinking (sending IR signals)?
Salza Same here ^^
I can't hear your computer cuz mine is too loud...
Buy headphones.
Love this guy's excitement!!
I wish I had one of these! My PC is under my desk, but is still audible when I'm livestreaming. Thanks to this PC, you have a new subscriber here!
you lied, you said "The Quietest Computer You'll Ever Hear...", when i never heard it, so it should be "The Quietest Computer You'll Never Hear...", just saying
slow claps* Well done
+ziggy brown Awful execution of that one. Doesn't help that you were beaten to it also.
you make a awesome pc :)
it was very great to hear your heartbeat over the pc. thanks for fysical effort to do this for us :D
I love this video so much. You deserve so much more attention than you get... very great quality, and you just seem so nice... I learned something from this, the noise floor of microphones. I didn't know about those :P
Absolute brilliant, Good job mate.
Amazing, well done. U must be so happy with it.
Thanks DIY Perk. I might actually build a new case using this principle. I could even move all the parts I have now to this new one. Great video.
Brilliant! Always looking to make the PC quieter for the recording studio. Great job on the computer and great job with the video!
Great Job, i think you inspired me a lot and i'm gonna try that too !
Your videos are really cool. I love them very much and I would love to have a PC like this one.
Doubleplusgood! Your excellent mini-series on your quiet computer has certainly inspired me to make my own silent PC. I won’t copy your model, but I will certainly keep in mind your ideas when I work on my own build. I hope that professional PC builders watch your videos and take note... Anyway, many thanks for your great videos :)
Matt, you are crazy, I like you. Thanks for all the information and ideas. I enjoy your videos, a lot. Keep them coming.
Awesome Video Matt
Definitely a musician's dream, great job man!
OMG. That is so awesome! Nice job! :)
Awesome man! That dedication to that computer tho. Excellent !
That mic has an amazingly low noise floor! And yes, when you started whispering, it immediately made me think of those creepy ASMR videos. :-)
every time i look at your pc i feel so jelly. That is one sexy case design and the fact that you made it makes me want to design and build my own pc case
A+ awesome job! This computer is slick as all heck.
well done! practical tests that i can relate to much more than synthetic benchmarks.
Really quiet and unique. nice build :D
let me just say that this is the best asmr on youtube
Well done! such a good idea and tip for building almost-zero-sound PC
I'm extremly impressed by this!
Nice vid, I like how you always have a big smile in your vids.
Really awesome video, I love this channel. I would love to make a case myself some day, see how quiet and small one could get with a mini-itx form factor. Anyway, good job as always and keep up the good work!
woooow that is some serious stuff buddy, amazing!
Awesome as always!
6:17 I like your sense of humour. Awesome BUILD!
