Default Noiseless mode for hardware.

Hello,

We all want fast computers, fast games, fast software etc.

But sometimes we might want quite computers as well, when working with less
intensive software.

So I propose hardware is extended with a noiseless mode.

When the user puts the computer via the software into "noiseless" mode the
computer should use minimal resources to become "noiseless".

For example a 5.0 GHZ processor could turn into 1 GHZ processor maybe even
500 GHZ or maybe even slower than that.

Harddisks become slower, everything should become slower, and therefore
hopefully more power efficient.

The hardware could even use alternative circuitry printed on a different
nano scale to consume less power in "noiseless" mode.

The goal is to bring the PC, back into the 80486 age when cpu's didn't
require heatsinks and fans, and the same goes for motherboards, harddisks,
memory chips, and graphics cards.

So that fans can be disabled.

To get a totally quite pc !?

Bye,
Skybuck.

noise means energy is being wasted.

laptops optimise energy usage etensively to compensate for general poor
battery life ( i expect a battery to last 24 hours at least!, doesn't
everyone ??)

cpu's do cycle slower, often they just shut down into a "sleep" mode when
idle, even for times as short as a few microseconds often as long as
20seconds

2.5 inch hard drives are virtually noiseless also anyway,.try putting those
into desktops !

power supplys require fans to compensate for poor design anyway., they can
be made better if the market demands it

desktop/rack mother boards are only marginally designed for power savings
since they expect to be connected directly to the "GRID" or someother giga
amp power resource

green desktops are becoming more available due to power costs

virtual use of internet high speed allows use of simply a monitor and
keyboard or mouse, no drives, no fans,nothing other than a link to a server
that supplies the user with all resources neeeded.

You mean like every notebook, sub-notebook, laptop and palmtop
computer out there?
Merry Christmas whoever you are!

** Hard drives then were much less efficent on power drain than now;
they weer power hogs compared to what is now available.

*** BTW, the word is spelled "QUIET".
But then again, what do you know?

Try http://www.quietpc.com/ Not cheap but effective. I have fan control at
front and usually have all (4) fans on minimum. My graphics cards (2 SLI'd)
are 8500GT's Silent (no fans but big heatsink) It can be done!!!

You can get almost silent without sacrificing performance or spending a ton
of money. Just look for -passively- cooled video cards and motherboards (no
fans, larger heatsinks). This won't cost one cent extra, but will require a
little research to find the "right" components that match whatever system
you want to build (compatibility with other components, etc.) Buy a
Seasonic brand power supply (most are practically silent). You should be
buying a high-quality name brand power supply anyway, so (unless you are too
cheap to build a system the CORRECT way) a Seasonic power supply won't add
any extra cost to your system.

Unless you resort to water-cooling (and even then), you will still
need -some- additional airflow through the case, and fans can add noise.
The exhaust fan(s) of the power supply won't be enough cooling, you'll need
at least one fan pulling cool air into the lower part of your case. Choose
a nearly silent fan for this, keeping in mind that 2 or 3 QUIET fans will
generate less noise than one noisy fan can. In other words, if you find a
case fan that is quiet enough, but doesn't push enough air, just get another
one or two of them. Change case to accomodate, if necessary. -Dave

"power efficient."
"To get a totally quite pc !?" You mean QUIET???? Learn to spell
before you learn GREEN, asshole. Another (NOT-Jolly) Green Giant out

Or even a totally /quiet/ PC.
Got 2 PC's here, both in Antec P180's, with all the case fans running at
2/3rds speed - you can barely hear either of them, and can't hear them at
all when the TV is on. So why would I need to do anything special?

Default Humming of PC cases !

The case is resonating.

It creates a humming sound.

It's the fans that cause the case to slighty resonate and hum.

The humming goes away if I press the case doors against each other or
against the casing or whatever.

But after a while the humming returns !

Bye,
Skybuck.
