The Ryzen CPUs have put AMD back on the map, so we are delighted offer this exceptionally quiet PC based around their fantastic multi-core processors.

We are proud to announce our quiet fanned Ryzen PC housed in the fantastic Jonsbo QT03A chassis, the perfect choice in performance and style. The chassis features two 5mm tempered glass side panels, a built in fan controller and an aluminium front panel to give the whole PC a look for pure elegance. We chose the QT03A for two reasons, not only does it look great but it is also ideal for building a quiet PC as it has sound-absorbing materials on the front and top panels. It features a separate chamber where the power supply and 3.5" drives are installed, giving a thermal separation between the chamber and the rest of the PC, further aiding in reducing the amount of heat build up inside the PC.

At the core of the PC is the AMD Ryzen Processor which offers a massive 40% performance improvements compared to previous AMD processors. Ryzen CPUs incorporates multiple cores and threads, which allow them to excel at multi-core processing events such as gaming, video editing, photo-processing, while simultaneously running other programs. It also boasts overclocking capabilities and support for dual-channel DDR4 memory.

Only the quietest!

Our aim is to provide one of the world's quietest Ryzen PCs without compromising performance. We have therefore chosen only the best and quietest components for this PC. The Ryzen CPUs are supplied with a CPU cooler (expect the 7 1700X), which are reasonable in terms of quietness. But we highly recommend that you opt for one of the coolers in the configurator as they will not only perform better but will also be much quieter. Our recommendation is the Noctua NF-U12S SE-AM4 which is an excellent CPU cooler and being from Noctua it is exceptionally quiet.

As for graphics, we have only made available either totally fanless cards or cards that can run semi-passively, meaning the fan will only rotate when the GPU exceeds a certain threshold. This means that only noise will be generated when you are pushing the PC, for example during gaming or while running other graphical programs.

Choice of motherboard

The Ryzen Serenity is configurable with a choice of two motherboard. Both motherboards are from ASUS, the ROG Strix X370-F Gaming and the ROG Strix B350-F Gaming. The main difference between them is the chipset used. The X370 offers more features over the B350. For example the X370 has more USB3.1 (gen1) ports, more SATA ports and also supports Nvidia SLI. The X370 also has two USB3.1 (gen2) ports, one Type-C and one Type-A, whereas the B350 has two Type-A USB3.1 (gen2) ports. The below images show the differences between the I/O ports found at the rear of the PC.

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 choose an SSD or M2 drive as a boot drive that contains the operating system and important programs. A conventional HDD would store other data but remember that if you intend to have a totally silent PC, you might want to forgo the HDDs altogether 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 Microsoft Security Essentials / Windows Defender - 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 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.
