Ambient noise in the room is around 20-25dBa. We measure from a distance of around 1 meter from the closed chassis and 4 foot from the ground to mirror a real world situation.
Why do this? Well this means we can eliminate secondary noise pollution in the test room and concentrate on only the video card. It also brings us slightly closer to industry standards, such as DIN 45635.

The system is very quiet indeed, especially for a gaming system. We attribute this to the excellent MSI graphics card cooler.
£1500 is very expensive for that really.
Yeah, not a great selection of components. especially the memory. thats not really forgiveable in 2013.
£1,500? I dont think so, I could build a much better system for that price.
Nothing I really like about that build, I normally like the pcspecialist builds you feature on this page, and the mesh one was even nice, but this ? nah. pass.
I am glad that didnt get an award, because its pants. The whole build looks like its sagging inside and the component selection is dire. unnamed memory? entry level PSU and poor cooling, for £1,500? serious? id have gave it 5 out of 10. not 7, but as I said, no award, so im letting you guys off with it.
TBH i would rather have a gaming laptop than a gaming pc these days.oo00 that reminds me i’ve just bought a samsung seris 7 gaming laptop.laptops for the win in my book 🙂
wow, thats a system I wouldnt have myself. a last gen SSD, crap memory and an entry level cooler master PSU? temps are terrible too.
Thats embarassing. thumbs down from me.
