A top quality fully-built very quiet gaming PC, using an Intel Core Ultra CPU, DDR5 RAM, all powered by an ASUS motherboard. This formidable machine consists of only the quietest components from brands like ASUS and Noctua where possible.

The philosophy behind the Serenity Ultimate Gamer is to offer the quietest gaming experience possible using just standard off-the-self components. Not only do we want this PC to be extremely quiet during non-gaming tasks, but also whilst gaming. This makes keeping things quiet a little tricker as gaming generates heat, which in turn increases fan speeds, and therefore noise. This is why selecting the right components really helps minimise the noise, even during gaming sessions.

Quiet PC + ASUS + Noctua = The quietest air cooled gaming PC ever!

The Ultimate Gamer i18 needs the very best components, which is why you’ll only find that the vast majority of the products used are from ASUS or Noctua. These manufactures are easily leaders in their respective fields. ASUS have produced the best motherboards and graphics cards for decades, while Noctua are without a doubt the world’s most popular air cooling brand. The only components not covered by ASUS or Noctua are the CPU, RAM and storage drives.

ASUS TUF Gaming GT502 Chassis

The TUF Gaming GT502 chassis is an excellent choice for a quiet gaming PC. It features a dual chamber design, front and side tempered glass panels, a front USB Type-C port and tools free access. It also features carry handles.

The GT502 is not supplied with any case fans so if you would like to add case cooling then we highly recommend opting for the optional fans on the configurator below. If you’re thinking of opting for a white chassis the brown/beige NF-A12x25 PWM are ideal, while the chromax.black version is better suited to the black chassis, but it is your PC, so it’s your choice.

We connect the supplied LNA cables to all installed fans which caps to maximum RPM to 1700. The fans will only run at full speed if the CPU temperature rises above 80°. During light loads where the temperature of the CPU is under 40° the fans will rotate around 500 RPM, making them virtually silent. The fans will slowly increase their speed as the temperatures rise.

Other noise reduction features

CPU Cooler - The Intel 15th generation CPUs can run hot so they need good air cooling and the available Noctua CPU coolers for this PC are more than capable of keep the heat generated by the CPU in check! The nosiest CPU cooler on the list is the NH-U12S REDUX, which has a maximum noise level of 25.1 dB(A). For the cooler to achieve this maximum noise level the CPU temperature would need to be consistently in the 90°C range. In normal gaming usage it is the graphics card that is pushed more than the CPU, so you should never get temperatures in that range while gaming.

Power Supply - All the power supplies in the configurator below are 100% modular, meaning you’ll only need to connect the necessary cables to power your PC. This reduces cable clutter inside the case, which in turn improves airflow and cooling. Some of the PSUs are labelled ‘Semi-Fanless’, meaning the fan will only start spinning when the unit reaches a certain load. For example, the Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition will only activate its fan when the PSU reaches 50% load—an impressive 800W!

With all of the noise generating components taken care of, we guarantee that this PC will be unbeatable in regards to performance and noise levels for the components it can be configured with.

Intel Arrow Lake 15th Gen Processor

Intel’s 15th generation processors offer several improvements over their 14th generation counterparts, making them a significant upgrade. These advancements include higher clock speeds, improved power efficiency, and enhanced multi-core performance, allowing for smoother multitasking and faster processing. The 15th generation also introduces better support for AI-driven tasks and more advanced integrated graphics, catering to both professionals and gamers. Additionally, they are built on a refined architecture, which optimises performance while reducing heat output. Altogether, these features make Intel’s 15th generation processors more powerful, efficient, and versatile than their predecessors.

To give you an idea of much of an improvement the 15th gen is over the 14th gen, take a look at the table below that shows some PassMark CPU Benchmarks, the higher the number the better the performance the processors offers.

The figures above are as of Jan 2025. They do change over time.

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

These days, many pre-built PCs often rely on cash incentives from software companies to support their prices. These companies pay hardware manufacturers to pre-install limited or trial versions of their software, hoping that customers will eventually opt to upgrade to the full version. Unfortunately, this approach has a downside: it fills the new PC with unnecessary “junkware,” leading to an inflated operating system and performance issues.

At Quiet PC, we firmly believe that customers deserve the utmost performance from their brand new PCs. That’s why we proudly offer our Clean Build™ promise with every system we build. When you choose one of our PCs, we install only the essentials: the operating system (if requested), motherboard drivers, OS updates and Windows Security. Say goodbye to annoying pop-ups and nag screens. With our clean build promise you can immediately start using your new PC without the hassle of uninstalling numerous unwanted programs. Experience lightning-fast boot times and enjoy optimal performance for 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.
