Bad @Bandwagon

True. This is as good an excuse as any for an upgrade if you're willing to spend the money. A real upgrade will not be cheap and you're rolling the dice as to how quiet the prebuilt will be. If it was me, I would put the guts in a bigger, better case, replace the fans and maybe the CPU cooler...

Swapping out the video card is simple. You just have to make sure to seat the power cable on the 4000 series properly or you'll burn your house down. No biggie.

Might want to look in to undervolting the 3080ti and see how that goes. Minimal performance loss and costs nothing.

Dude. Noctuas are both quiet and stylish. If I ever decide to go all out on a PC build looks wise, it will be all Noctua beige and brown.

I also use headphones when gaming, though they are open back so I can hear the fans ramp up under load. Heat isn't bad at all, but it is in my living room, not in a small room that would heat up fast. The 3080ti is doing you no favors as they had to ramp up the power to get the extra...

Your hardware is very similar to mine. I'm running a 5800X, 32 GB RAM, 3080 10GB, 1440p main monitor. It's in a Phanteks P500A with 3 140mm Noctuas in front, a 120mm rear and an Arctic LFII 360mm top exhaust. It sits right on my desk and is silent at idle and reasonably quiet under load.

True. the 4000 series is significantly more efficient than the 3000s. Dropping in a 4080 would improve thermals.

That looks like a Corsair 4000D airflow, which is a decent case for thermals. Are those 120mm fans in the front? I don't know how good the stock Corsair fans are, but some 140mm Noctuas could cut down on noise. I'm guessing the top mounted CPU radiator is 240mm, a 360mm would improve things. I...

Nurses and doctors I understand as they are imported from all over the world. It's the unit secretaries and other support staff that can barely speak english too.

An older, slower PC uses less power and generates less heat. That means less cooling is necessary and fans can run at lower speeds. A newer, more powerful machine can definitely be quiet if built correctly. Water cooling for the CPU, a good airflow focused case with bigger fans so they can run...

Why can't hospitals hire staff that can communicate in intelligible english when that's part of their damn job?

First off, Desktop Computers for your general desktop building/purchasing advice. Secondly, was the PC quiet enough to start off with and got louder over time? If so, a good cleaning of the internals and repasting the CPU could quiet it down.

@Chris , @Lumi , the religion thread is thataway. Either take your religion discussion there or tie this back in to aliens and the like. I'll even move your posts over there if you want to continue the discussion. Getting complaints from the thread enthusiasts is unusual and you know how much...

The last time I looked, I couldn't find one for reasonable price that would even do 1440p @ 144hz. I just have my work laptop hooked up to one of the other monitor inputs and switch inputs on the monitor itself. For the keyboard and mouse, I have a logitech G915, so the bluetooth connection on...
