My Latest Blog Entry [-]
I just ran across this link:
http://www.deltatronic.de/int/pc/index.html
It is the website for a company that builds completely fanless PCs. I was curious as I have been intending to build one myself for some time.
There are difficulties with the concept, Processors inevitably run hotter and so will have a shorter lifespan, it also means that high end processors that have yet to be optimised run to hot to use at all, however it has one benefit... no fan noise!
But does this make such a difference? I have lived with a PC on in my Bedroom 24/7 for about 4 years now and I can't say my hearing is any worse... of course I have always worked hard to ensure that my PC is as quiet as possible. Infact what I find far more annoying than Fan sounds are the little whines the Disc Drives put out when they don't like you asking them to do stuff.
The actual reason I had intended to build a silent PC was for use as a home entertainment centre. It was to be much lower spec than those offered by this company, run off flash memory, connected to a network and as small as possible with the aim of having no moving parts at all, and get all the data off of a PC or server stored elsewhere in the house so at last music and movies would be completely free of the whirring of the disk and the hum of fans.
Anyway I guess in my opinion, as long as you are sensible and don't try to install 37 12" fans to drop the CPU temp that extra .5oC I don't think that fan noise is going to affect your hearing any worse than the traffic outside your window, but it does drive me NUTS when I am trying to enjoy Lord of the Rings in 5.1 surround sound, Or thte nuances of Holst's Planet Suite in my living room.
What do the rest of you think about fan noise? And the noise of technology in general? Read More »
