Quiet PC Intel 10/11th Gen CPU and micro-ATX Motherboard Bundle

Based around an Intel CPU, this pre-built bundle is ideal for customers looking to take the strain out of putting the core components of a PC together.

This particular bundle includes an Intel CPU, motherboard, RAM from Corsair and your choice of either a fanned CPU cooler from Noctua or a fanless one from Nofan. As with all our bundles, our experts will assemble it and run specialised software to ensure it all works as expected prior to shipping.

Features

  1. Customisable pre-built bundle
  2. You choose the CPU, motherboard, RAM and CPU cooler
  3. Expertly put together and tested prior to shipping
  4. Fanned or fanless options available
  5. 24 months return to base warranty

Only the best components from the best manufacturers

As with our fully built systems, we only offer the very best components in our bundles.

Processors

Intel are without a doubt the most popular processor manufacturer in the world and their latest CPUs offer great performance and feature a wide range of performance levels from their Pentium range all the way through to the high-performing Core i9 processors.

Intel 10th Gen and 11th Gen differences

The 500 series motherboards available with this bundle are compatible with both the 10th gen and 11th gen Intel processors, which is good as it gives flexibility and choice. The down-side to this is that the motherboard limits its features if a 10th gen processor is installed. We have therefore produced the table below to give you an idea of the what those differences are. This will hopefully allow you to gauge the best suitable processor for your needs. Do you go for the feature rich 11th gen, or opt for a 10th gen with limitations, but more attractive from a price point of view.

10th Gen 11th Gen
PCIe version 3.0 4.0
M.2 PCIe 4.0 port No (port disabled) Yes
HDMI Version HDMI 1.4, 4K @ 30Hz HDMI 2.0, 4K @ 60Hz

PCIe Version - As you can see from the table above the PCIe port, which is generally used for a graphics card, changes from PCIe 4.0 to 3.0 if a 10th Gen CPU is installed. In regards to performance of the graphics card and PCIe 3.0, you will not notice any major difference in frame rates running at PCIe 3.0 speeds. M.2 PCIe 4.0 port - A M.2 drive offers extremely fast transfer rates and this is bolstered by PCIe 4.0, which gives speeds up to 64Gb/s (8000MB/s), compared PCIe 3.0 which is 32Gb/s (4000MB/s). This means using an 11th Gen processor along with a Samsung 980 Pro will allow you to achieve the maximum transfer speeds the drive can achieve. Please also note that the PCIe 4.0 M.2 port will be disabled if a 10th Gen CPU is installed. If you do opt for a 10th Gen CPU you will still be able to populate the other M.2 ports on the motherboard but the transfer speed is 32Gp/s, so the Samsung 970 EVO Plus or a slower drive is recommended. HDMI Version - This is self explanatory, an 11th Gen CPU supports HDMI 2.0 which provides resolutions up to 4096 x 2304 @ 60Hz. A 10th Gen processor supports HDMI 1.4 which provides resolutions up to 4096 x 2304 @ 30Hz. The DisplayPort resolution is not affect by the CPU. Therefore if you 100% need a 60Hz 4K resolution from the motherboard then the best choice would be an 11th Gen CPU.

CPU Cooler

We have two brands available here, Noctua and Nofan. Noctua have catapulted themselves to be a contender as one of the best CPU cooler manufacturers with their high-quality and very quiet coolers. Nofan are currently the only CPU cooler manufacturer that produce fanless CPU coolers. Please be aware that if you choose a Nofan fanless CPU cooler the CPU must have a TDP of 80W or lower. The K-suffix CPUs are 125W and therefore not recommended with the Nofan fanless cooler. If you do decide to go down the fanless route please make sure the chosen chassis has ventilation holes on the roof of the chassis. This allows the warm air produced by the processor to naturally dissipate out of the system.

Memory

In recent years, Corsair have expanded their product portfolio to include many different types of PC related products but they are most popularly known for memory. The memory we use in our bundles is the Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX.

No hassle bundles

When building a new, PC we understand that it can be a nightmare to decide which components to choose and whether or not they will be compatible. If you take the plunge and go for one of our bundles, we guarantee that the components will work together flawlessly. These components are the same as we use in our fully built systems, therefore we are extremely confident they will work in your chassis of choice.

The only thing to note is the height of the CPU cooler. The table below gives the height of each CPU cooler that is available in the configurator. Please make sure your chassis will accommodate whichever CPU cooler you choose. If you are unsure feel free to contact us, letting us know which chassis you plan to use and we will advise accordingly.

CPU Cooler Height, mm
Nofan CR-80EH 113
Noctua NH-U9S 125
Noctua NH-U12S 158
Noctua NH-U14S 165
Noctua NH-D15S 165

If you would like to choose an alternative CPU cooler that we stock but is not available on the configurator, then please let us know and we will confirm its suitability.

Thoroughly tested and with 24 months warranty

It is not unknown for PC components to fail even if they are brand new. If you choose a bundle from Quiet PC, following assembly we will put the components through two tests. The first test checks the memory with the second test checking every other component in the bundle. These tests run over a period of 24 hours and burn-in all the components. We also update the motherboard to the latest BIOS and configure it accordingly. This quality control procedure gives you peace of mind that the components are working as you would expect.

We also offer a full 24 month return to base warranty with all of our bundles. This means if you come across any issues with the components in the bundle, just get in touch and we will get you back up and running in no time.
