This fully-built 100% silent PC uses fanless cooling technology and an Intel processor. It also features a BTF motherboard so all cabling is hidden behind the motherboard tray.

We are proud to offer the A50-BTF Fanless i17 which is the next iteration of our most popular fanless system! The CPU is silently cooled by a fanless CPU cooler for no noise, no dust, no moving parts and no maintenance. The machine can be configured to your exact specification and offers, as you would expect, totally silent operation.

Total Silence!

At Quiet PC, one thing that truly bothers us is the abundance of marketing jargon claiming products to be “silent” or even “ultra-silent,” while in reality, they contain moving parts that inevitably produce noise. We firmly believe that silence is absolute; it either is or it is not.

That’s why we have gone the extra mile to create a PC that guarantees absolute silence. We have meticulously configured this computer to ensure a truly noiseless experience. The CPU cooler, power supply, and graphics cards are entirely passive, devoid of any moving components. Consequently, they generate absolutely no noise, offering you an exceptionally serene computing environment.

However, we would like to bring to your attention that the only potential source of noise in this PC would be if you choose to include a conventional hard disk drive (HDD) and/or an optical drive. Therefore, we recommend considering this while customising your system. If maintaining total silence is your goal, we highly recommend opting for a solid-state drive (SSD) to store your data instead of a HDD. Additionally, we suggest using the optical drive only when necessary, to keep any potential noise at bay.

With this carefully designed and crafted PC, you can rest assured that silence will reign, granting you an uninterrupted and peaceful computing experience.

Features ASUS BTF Motherboard and Chassis

The most unique aspect of the A50-BTF Fanless is that it features a BTF micro-ATX motherboard. The benefit of a BTF motherboard is that the motherboard connections are on the underneath of the motherboard which allow for a very clean build. The only cable that would be visible is the graphics card power cable, assuming one is required. This lack of cables at the business side of the PC means that there is no possibility of any cable blocking any heat dissipation, which for a fanless PC is paramount!

Intel Alder Lake 14th Gen Processor

The 14th Gen Intel processors bring improvements over previous generations, offering enhanced performance through the use of improved Performance-cores (P-cores) and Efficient-cores (E-cores). These cores are optimised to deliver impressive results in both single and lightly-threaded tasks, as well as highly-threaded workloads. This optimisation allows gamers, creators, and professionals to unlock the full potential of their systems and elevate their experiences.

To provide you with a glimpse of the improvements offered by the 14th Gen Intel processors compared to the 13th Gen, the table below showcases some PassMark CPU Benchmarks. Higher numbers in the benchmarks indicate better overall performance, helping you understand the notable performance gains delivered by the 14th Gen processors.

The figures above are as of March 2024. They do change over time.

These benchmarks demonstrate the improved performance capabilities of the 14th Gen processors, highlighting their ability to handle a wide range of tasks with increased efficiency and power. Whether you are a gamer, content creator, or professional user, the 14th Gen Intel processors aim to deliver a significant boost in performance and productivity.

Motherboard Features

The A50-BTF Fanless is powered by an ASUS motherboard, which boasts cutting-edge components such as the Intel B760 chipset, enabling high-performance capabilities. With 2.5Gbps LAN and Realtek audio, this motherboard ensures seamless connectivity and immersive audio experiences. Accommodating a remarkable capacity of up to 128GB DDR5 RAM, it delivers excellent memory capabilities.

The B760 motherboard goes beyond expectations with its PCIe 5.0 support. Additionally, it houses three PCIe 4.0 M.2 ports, enhancing storage options and enabling fast access to data.

On the rear of the PC, you’ll find a diverse range of USB ports to cater to your connectivity needs. Among them, a Type-C USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port stands out, while an impressive total of seven Type-A USB ports and a further two Type-C ports which operate at varying speeds, providing versatility for all your peripheral devices.

Storage considerations

When specifying your new PC’s storage options using our system configurator below, you will be offered a choice of drives which vary by price and capacity. There are two primary types of storage. A conventional hard disk drive (HDD) offers huge storage capacity for a low price, but it won’t be especially fast and it will generate a certain amount of running noise since it contains a constantly-rotating spindle. A solid state (SSD) or a M2 drive on the other hand, offer tremendous speed and absolutely silent operation, but they cost more than an HDD for any given capacity.

So if you need a lot of storage space (for videos or large quantities of digital photos for example), then we would recommend an HDD. On the other hand, if you prefer silence and speed (especially boot-up speed), then an SSD or M2 drive would be a better choice. Of course you can have more than one drive, so you could have the best of both worlds by choosing one of each! We recommend that customers chose an SSD or M2 drive as a boot drive that contains the operating system and important programs and a conventional HDD to store other data, but remember that if you intend to have a totally silent PC you might want to forgo the HDDs all together as they will make some noise due to their moving parts.

Clean Build™ Promise

These days, many pre-built PCs often rely on cash incentives from software companies to support their prices. These companies pay hardware manufacturers to pre-install limited or trial versions of their software, hoping that customers will eventually opt to upgrade to the full version. Unfortunately, this approach has a downside: it fills the new PC with unnecessary “junkware,” leading to an inflated operating system and performance issues.

At Quiet PC, we firmly believe that customers deserve the utmost performance from their brand new PCs. That’s why we proudly offer our Clean Build™ promise with every system we build. When you choose one of our PCs, we install only the essentials: the operating system (if requested), motherboard drivers, OS updates and Windows Security. Say goodbye to annoying pop-ups and nag screens. With our clean build promise you can immediately start using your new PC without the hassle of uninstalling numerous unwanted programs. Experience lightning-fast boot times and enjoy optimal performance for months and years to come.

Free hardware support and fully inclusive warranty

We offer free hardware technical support for as long as you own the machine. This support covers any hardware query or problem, including advice on maintenance and upgrades. We regret we can’t offer software support or training so we would recommend contacting the software vendor in this instance.

Our hardware warranty runs for at least two years and is “collect and return” meaning that you don’t need to worry about getting the machine back to us - we will instruct our courier to collect it from you on a day of your choosing, then after we have checked and repaired it we will send it back to you by express courier at our expense. In addition, unlike many other PC suppliers, we have an “open-case” policy which means you are free to open the machine and perform your own minor modifications or upgrades without worrying that your warranty might be affected.
