Quiet PC Serenity AMD Gamer

Built around Silverstone’s SETA A1 chassis, the Serenity AMD Gamer is perfect for anyone looking for a gaming PC that not only looks great but offers excellent value for money, thanks to the inclusions of AMD Radeon Vega graphics.

Features

  1. Fully built quiet PC system tailored for high performance gaming
  2. Selected quiet components offer value and minimal running noise when idle
  3. We build to your specification and deliver within 7 days
  4. Clean Build™ Promise and original OS+drivers supplied on DVDs
  5. Two year warranty with open-case policy

Gaming PCs have become bolder and more extravagant in terms of how they look. It was only a matter of time before we made available a PC that is not just visually striking, but one that also stood by our philosophy of being quiet. Silverstone’s SETA chassis allows us to do just that.

As you can see the system is supplied with four white ring LED fans that really makes this PC stand out from the crowd. The fans, along with their LEDs can be switched off by a convenient switch at the front of the chassis. Of course this will reduce the amount of internal cooling the PC will receive but during non-gaming moments the airflow produced by the CPU cooler and the PSU will be more than sufficient to keep temperatures under control. If opting for a graphics card, then you’ll find only semi-fanless versions available that only rotate when the GPU exceeds 50°C. These are just a few of the noise reductions characteristics you can expect to find on the Serenity AMD Gamer.

Onboard graphics for a gaming PC, really?

AMD’s latest generation Ryzen processors with a “G” suffix now feature Radeon Vega graphics built right into the CPU. The performance of the graphics on these processors out performs any other onboard graphics previously released. For example take the AMD Ryzen 5 2400G which can easily tackle popular games like DOTA 2, League of Legends, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, CS:GO, or Rocket League at full HD (1920 x 1080) with ease. The built-in graphics also have full support for DirectX 12 and Vulkan too. Of course, if more graphical power is required then it is possible to configure the PC with a dedicated graphics card.

We would recommend opting for a graphics card if you plan to play games at a resolution higher than 1920 x 1080 or if the minimum specs for the game exceeds the GTX1050. This is because the onboard graphics is close to the performance of a GTX1050. The configurator below has the GTX1050 Ti as the next graphics card option. We believe the cost of the GTX1050 does not represent good value considering the performance of the Vega graphics and the fact it is free of charge!

PLEASE NOTE: Only CPUs with the letter “G” in their product name have built-in Radeon Vega graphics. Therefore, if you opt for the Ryzen 7 3700X CPU, a graphics card will be required.

The best quiet / performance balance

Any air-cooled PC will always be a compromise between quietness (arising from careful cooling design) and performance (which produces heat). This situation affects gamers even more than most because the latest and greatest processors and 3D graphics cards tend to be the ones which run the hottest and which have the loudest fans on them.

We’ve done a lot of development work in this area to bring you the Serenity AMD Gamer - a fully built high performance PC which we think offers the best of both worlds - virtually silent running (especially when the PC isn’t being used for gaming), and extraordinary gaming performance with great cooling design which gives total safety and reliability for your precious CPU and GPU.

Top Performance and Reliability

Because we use a fully-featured motherboard, the PC is a very capable unit. It can be built with up to 64 Gigabytes of memory and one of AMD’s Ryzen processors. Famous for their excellent performance/value balance, these processors have the latest architecture and offer excellent performance. We recommend a minimum memory specification of 8GB for this operating system to perform at its best.

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 choose an SSD or M2 drive as a boot drive that contains the operating system and important programs. A conventional HDD would store other data but remember that if you intend to have a totally silent PC, you might want to forgo the HDDs altogether as they will make some noise due to their moving parts.

Clean Build™ Promise

The price of many pre-built PCs these days is often supported by cash kickbacks from software companies who pay hardware manufacturers to pre-install limited or trial versions of their software and then hope that the customer pays to upgrade to the full version. The downside to this approach is that the new PC comes pre-loaded with a lot of “junkware” which bloats the operating system and can cause severe performance degradation.

Here at Quiet PC we believe that customers have every right to expect the best possible performance from a brand new PC, so every system we build comes with our Clean Build™ promise. We install the operating system (if you order one), motherboard drivers, OS updates and Microsoft Security Essentials / Windows Defender - that’s it. You won’t be pestered by pop-ups and nag screens and you can get on with using your new PC immediately without having to uninstall lots of junkware first. Your new machine will boot in super-quick time and will stay running quickly for many 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 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.

Customer Reviews

Serenity Gamer (with 4770K and GTX 760)

,

I opted for a 4770K CPU and GTX 760 graphics card to cope with my upgrade of Cinema C4D to version 15. I was concerned that the graphics card would be noisy but I should not have worried, my new PC runs quiet and cool. I ordered on a Sunday and it was delivered the following Friday morning. I will be using QuietPC again.
