Our best-selling 100% silent PC is now available with AMD 5000 series APUs that use Nofan’s revolutionary IcePipe processor cooling technology. This compact micro-ATX PC doesn’t compromise on performance and comes with a two-year fully inclusive warranty.

Nofan A830a Silent PC

AMD continues their resurgence thanks to their 5000 series Ryzen processors. We are therefore delighted to announce a new range of our very best silent PCs, all based around AMD’s excellent processors. Just like its Intel brother this PC takes advantage of Nofan’s fanless CPU cooler and a fanless power supply, giving you the perfect foundation for a totally fanless and therefore silent PC.

The PC can be configured to your exact requirements with plenty of options in terms of processor performance, memory and storage. At present the PC can be configured with a AMD 5000 series G-suffix processor. These new APUs (Advanced Processor Unit) incorporate an updated graphics processor (compared to the 3000 series), as well as adding more cores and threads, which boosts overall performance and multi-tasking. There is also a selection of compatible AMD CPUs that require a graphics card to be installed, see below for more information. This PC can also be configured with up to a whopping 128GB of DDR4 RAM and there is a large range of storage drives available.

Graphics Card Options

As mentioned above, some of the processors available with this system have integrated graphics, but there are some that don’t. This can be a little awkward when configuring the system, as to whether a discrete graphics card is needed or not. To try an make things clearer all processors that include built-in graphics have the following, “with Radeon Graphics” in their product name.

The number within “Radeon Graphics” indicates how many graphics cores each processor has. For example, the AMD Ryzen 3 4750G with Radeon Graphics 6, has a total of six graphics cores. The larger the number the greater the performance.

High Quality Components

As with all of our systems, we use only the best available components, giving you confidence that your next PC will be reliable and perform as you’d expect for many years to come. The motherboard in this particular systems is key to the features the PC has. The ASUS PRIME A520M-A motherboard features an array of USB 3.2 ports and onboard HDMI 2.1 for 4K resolution at 60Hz (assuming you are using APU graphics).

Choice of Chassis

To continuously make this system available we have now made this very popular fanless PC configurable with an Antec case. The Antec VSK10 is very similar in size to the Coolmaster and is very adequate of dissipating the heat of a fanless PC due to the very large grill on the roof of the chassis.

Storage considerations

When specifying your new PC’s storage options using our system configurator below, you will be offered a choice of drives which vary by price and capacity. There are two primary types of storage. A conventional hard disk drive (HDD) offers huge storage capacity for a low price, but it won’t be especially fast and it will generate a certain amount of running noise since it contains a constantly-rotating spindle. A solid state (SSD) or a M2 drive on the other hand, offer tremendous speed and absolutely silent operation, but they cost more than an HDD for any given capacity.

So if you need a lot of storage space (for videos or large quantities of digital photos for example), then we would recommend an HDD. On the other hand, if you prefer silence and speed (especially boot-up speed), then an SSD or M2 drive would be a better choice. Of course you can have more than one drive, so you could have the best of both worlds by choosing one of each! We recommend that customers chose an SSD or M2 drive as a boot drive that contains the operating system and important programs and a conventional HDD to store other data, but remember that if you intend to have a totally silent PC you might want to forgo the HDDs all together as they will make some noise due to their moving parts.

Clean Build™ Promise

The price of many pre-built PCs these days is often supported by cash kickbacks from software companies who pay hardware manufacturers to pre-install limited or trial versions of their software and then hope that the customer pays to upgrade to the full version. The downside to this approach is that the new PC comes pre-loaded with a lot of “junkware” which bloats the operating system and can cause severe performance degradation.

Here at Quiet PC we believe that customers have every right to expect the best possible performance from a brand new PC, so every system we build comes with our Clean Build™ promise. We install the operating system (if you order one), motherboard drivers, OS updates and Windows Security - that’s it. You won’t be pestered by pop-ups and nag screens and you can get on with using your new PC immediately without having to uninstall lots of junkware first. Your new machine will boot in super-quick time and will stay running quickly for many months and years to come.

Free hardware support and fully inclusive warranty

We offer free hardware technical support for as long as you own the machine. This support covers any hardware query or problem, including advice on maintenance and upgrades. We regret we can’t offer software support or training so we would recommend contacting the software vendor in this instance.

Our hardware warranty runs for at least two years and is “collect and return” meaning that you don’t need to worry about getting the machine back to us - we will instruct our courier to collect it from you on a day of your choosing, then after we have checked and repaired it we will send it back to you by express courier at our expense. In addition, unlike many other PC suppliers, we have an “open-case” policy which means you are free to open the machine and perform your own minor modifications or upgrades without worrying that your warranty might be affected.
