Silent PC Build - Suggestions Please!

[Pictus]

Those tests might be helpful for a gaming setup, but not for a silent PC build. For the latter, you'd want to run the fans at much lower speeds and there the performance could be different.

The Phanteks PH-F120T30 has 0 RPM mode and a switch to limit the max RPM.
Here I do not limit the RPM, but use a custom fan curve with

Just as an option, here's my build, which I'm pretty happy with after 6 months of use and is almost dead silent.

I'm using Bitwig Studio and had identified via my laptop that it uses very little graphics processing generally.
So I opted for an AMD Ryzen 7 5700G which has onboard graphics. This way I don't need the extra power, noise and complexity of a dedicated graphics card.
The cooler's HUGE and the case is well damped. It runs really very quiet indeed, even when pushed.
