    Glad those days are gone. These days, a bit of coil whine can get annoying, though luckily my current GPU doesn’t suffer from it.

    I spent extra on getting quiet fans and haven’t had an HDD for almost a decade now.

    Those Be Quiet! fans are pretty good btw. Difference between the two that look the same but have different names is one is optimized for air movement while the other is optimized to generate static pressure. Run your fans such that there’s a slightly positive pressure and you’ll drastically reduce dust buildup… But you don’t need the pressure optimized fans to do that, just more intake than exhaust will do so (assuming they are all set to the same speed and are the same size).
