Hi everyone
I'm going to build a hackintosh for audio/video editing and gaming with the following:
Intel Core i7 4790K CPU
Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H MoBo
Kingston HyperX Savage DDR3 1866 PC3-14900 16GB 2x8GB CL9 RAM Memory
Gigabyte GTX 970 Gaming G1 Windforce OC 4GB GDDR5 GPU
Samsung 850 Pro 256GB SSD
Seagate Barracuda 7200 3TB 64MB HDD
Corsair RM850 850W 80 Plus Gold Modular PSU
Noctua NH-U12S HSF
Corsair Carbide 330R Case
Those last two elements are what this thread is about, but any comment on the rest of the components is welcome too.
I'd like my machine to be as silent as possible (well, as silent as a gaming system can be). Maybe I'm wrong, but I guess noise is mainly caused by RPM and that, at equal temps, a big fan can keep lower RPM than a small one. Is that right? With that in mind I choose a pretty big HFS with good reviews. I was going for the D14, but it would touch the side of the case. I'm keeping the case's stock fans, but I'd like to know if it would be a good idea to add more fans to it: http://www.corsair.com/es-es/carbide-series-330r-titanium-edition-silent-mid-tower-case
Maybe more fans means less RPM/fan and less noise. What do you think?
