AVADirect Silent Gaming PC Review
AVADirect took gaming to heart with its silent PC. Besides overclocking its 3.3GHz Core i5-2500K to 4.7GHz using a Prolimatech Megahalems cooler, AVADirect matches that chip with Asus’s three-slot ENGTX580 card. With its beefy build and giant fans, the yuge ENGTX580 is generally intended for overclocking, but if you don’t overclock, you can run the card quietly. So damn quiet, in fact, that the fans on the ENGTX580 don’t spool up to any noticeable level.
