Building a silent Desktop PC 2019
First of all: Why get a new Desktop PC, if the old one is still working?
To put it briefly:
- Two is better than one/Ergonomics: Sitting is the new smoking. Switching between working in a sitting position at the old PC and working at a standing desk at the new PC will be a breeze, especially when considering that by using Remote Desktop, the location of either PC itself becomes irrelevant.
- After an SSD Upgrade of the old AMD FX-4100 system (in use since February 2012) working with it did become much better. However, the Windows 10 Version 1903 Update led to a Blue Screen of “Inaccessible Boot Device”
- Every other day now, either the Mouse cursor freezes or the system shuts down by itself and Windows Event Viewer is not helping either:

The components for the new PC were chosen with the super-convenient PC-Konfigurator at Alternate.de. The goal was to build a silent but performant system for a reasonable price, so a Board for the AM4 socket was the starting point and parts fell into place from there….

Delivery and Setup was fast: Order placed on Friday 17:50, Delivery Monday late afternoon, and Windows Installation complete on Tuesday 11am.
Basically, the steps of setting up the System were the following:
