Quiet PC Phantom Fanless Z2
Built around the Thermaltake Core P3 chassis the Silent Phantom is a totally fanless PC that provides the best possible cooling, allowing the air to naturally dissipate without any obstructions due to the chassis open frame design.
Features
- Fully built silent PC system, configurable to your exact requirements
- Utilises AMD’s latest processors and a B550 motherboard
- 100% fanless design gives zero noise and no dust build-up
- We build to your specification and deliver within 7 days
- Clean Build™ Promise and original OS+drivers supplied on DVDs
- Two year warranty with open-case policy
We are proud to offer the Silent Phantom Desktop PC which is a fully-built silent computer system, ready to go that utilises one of AMD’s latest processors and an ASUS motherboard. The CPU is silently cooled by either a Nofan’s IcePipe processor cooler or the Noctua NH-P1 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.
Thermaltake Core P3 Benefits
Thermaltake’s Core P3 chassis is a open frame design, which is ideal for a totally fanless build as the warm air rises away from the installed components naturally, without a roof potentially restricting this process, resulting in reduced component temperatures (compared to a standard closed chassis). Another benefit is easy access to the installed components, making any additions made to the PC extremely simple to do.
Thermaltake Core P3 Disadvantages
One maybe fooled into thinking that because the Phantom uses an open frame design that dust build up would be a problem. The fact that the PC is totally fanless means the system does not attract dust like a fanned PC. Of course dust will settle on the components but fans are renown for attracting dust hence why they are mainly equipped with dust filters. And of course being an open frame design means cleaning the system would be a very easy task to do.
The only real disadvantage of an open frame design is the fact it does not have any sides, meaning there would be no protection against any liquid spillages.
Total Silence!
One thing that annoys us as Quiet PC is all the marketing blurb about products being silent. No doubt you have heard some manufacturers claim their products to be “silent” or even better “ultra-silent” when their products contain moving parts. There are no variations to the word “silent”, it either is or isn’t, it is that simple. And if the product contains a moving part it will generate some noise and will not be silent. We have therefore configured this system to allow you to purchase a totally silent PC. The CPU cooler, power supply and graphics cards are totally passive, meaning they will generate absolutely no noise as they have no moving parts. In fact the only way you will be able to make this PC generate noise would be to purchase it with a conventional hard disk drive and/or an external optical drive, so please bear that in mind when configuring the system. If total silence is your aim, then opt for an SSD to contain your data rather than a HDD or SSHD and only put a disk in the optical drive when needed.
Graphics Card Options
As mentioned above, some of the processors available with this system have integrated graphics, but there are some that don’t. This can be a little awkward when configuring the system, as to whether a discrete graphics card is needed or not. To try an make things clearer all processors that include built-in graphics have the following, “with Radeon Graphics” in their product name.
The number within “Radeon Graphics” indicates how many graphics cores each processor has. For example, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics 7, has a total off seven graphics cores. The larger the number the greater the performance.
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.
