We measure acoustics performance using a Decibel Meter. We take noise measurements with the system running idle at the desktop and then once again under load in Grand Theft Auto V running at 4K.
KitGuru noise guide
10dBA – Normal Breathing/Rustling Leaves
20–25dBA – Whisper
30dBA – High Quality Computer fan
40dBA – A Bubbling Brook, or a Refrigerator
50dBA – Normal Conversation
60dBA – Laughter
70dBA – Vacuum Cleaner or Hairdryer
80dBA – City Traffic or a Garbage Disposal
90dBA – Motorcycle or Lawnmower
100dBA – MP3 player at maximum output
110dBA – Orchestra
120dBA – Front row rock concert/Jet Engine
130dBA – Threshold of Pain
140dBA – Military Jet takeoff/Gunshot (close range)
160dBA – Instant Perforation of eardrum
Overclockers UK have done a fantastic job with this system in terms of acoustic performance. At idle, this PC can barely be heard and then even under gaming load, the level of noise is not intrusive.
It looks like a nice build but I don’t understand why you’d go mITX and put it in a case that big. Built something similar (980 rather than 1080, 4690K rather than 6400) last year in a Node 302 and I thought that was on the “big” side of things 🙂
£1200 and you get that dodgy PSU, also that CPU/GPU combo isn’t ideal, the CPU will be costing you FPS and if you were using a G-SYNC monitor you’d want to stay in that window rather than drop out.
I up vote your comment.
Wow what a mismatch! This has so many WTF moments. Its like someone took the most expensive GPU they could find then raided the bargain bucket for the rest. The case is the ugly stepchild of the phanteks range, steel and plastic when everything else they do is aluminium, so automatically you move up to the Phanteks Enthoo and a Matx mobo, if your sticking with air cooling put a thermalright Macho on it. £30 120gb SSD really???, that PSU I think that’s been covered. I could go on but how on earth this has as pro’s the case and well balanced specs £600 GPU vs £30 SSD. MUST HAVE??? Either must avoid or must reconfigure. On the plus side this is one of the better gaming benchmark suites I’ve seen on Kitguru recently hurrah for The Witcher : )

First: H110 chipset has only 6 lanes of PCI Express. This is severe.
Second: Why would you pair the best single GPU ever with the lowest end i5???
Third: Who the hell is Kolink???
I really respect PC Builders, but this is literally going too far just to put a 1080 in a PC.
Kolink and Rascom are the companies behind Noctua so Kolink has a solid track record even if its name is not well known.
Well that is good to know, honestly. I just read the info and Kolink seems to be an OEM of some sort of Noctua’s, although they have lots of responsibilities, which makes it vital for Noctua http://noctua.at/en/rascom-kolink. Sorry, Kolink. I never meant to be rude to you
