Building a Dead Silent PC

Posted by michael on from the i-still-have-the-scar dept.

Jouster writes "The folks over at HardCoreWare.net have finally lost it. They built a PC that's well over twenty times quieter than their comparison PC (40 dB versus 65). And it's no sluggard, either: P4 2.80 GHz, 7200 RPM hard drive and--get this!--an overclocked to the max GeForce4 Ti 4200! The only fan in the entire system is in the PSU."

    Logarithmic or not, it doesn't matter. You can't be x times quieter than something. Its not possible. You can be x times louder, but not quieter. Ignoring negatives, x * y is always going to be a larger than either x or y. It really drives me nuts how people misuse that term. You'd think a geek site would be capable of using mathematics terms correctly.
