Silencing an old rig

[tgrech]

Finally fit one (D15S), got it £55 directly from Noctua "open box", seemed to have all the little bits in new packaging and all that, very tight, probably a mm or two in it in height, but not hard to fit.

Also since got another 1TB SSD and 32GB 3600MHz RAM, ready for CPU and GPU update probably coming in next month or two.

Hard to beat the old D15. Is that a Sabrent drive that you have there?

[tgrech]

Yep, the Sabrent Rocket Q 1TB, got it for £85 on Amazon recently, less than I paid for that SATA 1TB Samsung 860 EVO 6 months ago (Admittedly QLC vs TLC), been a lovely little performer so far

Welcome to the club of barely fitting Noctuas! Looking good there

With an RTX 3060 Ti FE and a Seasonic PX-750 I now genuinely can't hear at all it even under load with my ambient sound level.

It's also not really an old rig anymore I guess besides the trusty old Aerocool case

No dissing the Aero coolcase. I got that for a budget build I was doing for someone, it's a lot better than the pricetag would indicate.
