Sensayshun Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Mines very loud. People downstairs complain about it and bang on the ceiling :) Parents know if I'm still awake because if you stand anywhere outside my room it's still perfectly audible.

macro Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Intel Mac mini, it's "whisper quiet" and I pretty much leave it on 24/7 since there is no difference in how much sound it makes if its on or off. A lot nicer than my old PC, especially when it's in the bedroom and you wanna sleep at night lol Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/459563-how-loud-is-your-computer/#findComment-587491948 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shouck Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 4 120mm panaflos (low) 1 zalman vf700 1 chipset fan All controlled by a 6 fan controller, all set to their lowest voltage, and it's silent. I use MCE so quiet as possible. With nothing else making noise in the room, I don't hear it. At all. P4 3.2 @ 3.8 running at 35 degrees.
