I don't know in measured values how loud this PC is. For my feeling it is really ok. I don't notice any noise and it lays on my desk. But as I am not a passionate gamer it runs for me on a low performance level.
The noise level of the PC is really not that high. It's sitting on my desk next to the screen. Generally speaking, I'm quite sensitive to noise, but here it's fine.
Hello Turbemast The small PC runs very quietly. The fan makes a slight whirring noise when it is running. But I don't find it annoying. After installing an additional highspeed 2 Tb hard drive, the PC has super performance, which is exactly what I need for my applications.
