With the release of AMD’s 2nd generation APUs, which features built-in Radeon Vega graphics, it is now possible to offer a fully built AMD system at a very competitive price.

Serenity AMD Value, Antec P5 Silent

We are proud to announce our quiet fanned Serenity AMD Value, housed in the Antec P5 chassis - the perfect choice in performance and style. At its core the PC feature AMD’s very latest 3rd Ryzen processors. These are AMD’s first Ryzen CPUs to include a dedicated GPU chip.

Only the quietest!

Our aim is to provide one of the world’s quietest PCs without compromising performance. We have therefore chosen only the best and quietest components for this PC. The AMD processors are supplied with a CPU cooler which are reasonable in terms of quietness and performance. But we highly recommend that you opt for one of the coolers in the configurator as they will not only perform better but will also be much quieter. Our recommendation is the NF-U12S SE-AM4 which is an excellent and exceptionally quiet CPU cooler manufactured by Noctua.

Graphics Card Options

Some of the processors available with this system have integrated graphics, but there are some that do not. 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 Vega Graphics” in their product name. Those CPUs that do not include built-in graphics have “Requires Graphics” in their product name and therefore a graphics card must be selected.

The number within “Radeon Vega Graphics” indicates how many graphics cores each processor has. For example, the “AMD Ryzen 5 3400G with Radeon Vega 11 Graphics”, has a total of 11 graphics cores. The larger the number the greater the performance.

Exceptional Value

The idea behind the Serenity AMD Value is to have a great performing PC without breaking the bank, which is why we opted for the ASUS A320M-A motherboard. This feature rich motherboard offers a total of three video outputs, an ultra-fast M.2 port, ASUS’ 5X Protection III, USB 3.1, support for up to 64GB DDR4 and ample opportunity to add additional storage devices. But for customers looking for a few more features, like USB Type-C and USB 3.0 gen 2, then we also have the ASUS TUF B450 available.

Chassis options

This system is available with your choice of one of three chassis. Each chassis is perfect for micro-ATX PCs. In regards to which to choose, the P5 Silent and the Silencio S400 offer the best noise reduction properties thanks to the acoustically lined panels. The VSK10 does not have lined panels but it is ideal for customers looking to reduce the cost of the system.

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.
