Hi all,

here are the main specs of my current Asus AP201 micro atx build:

Ryzen 5700x3d with BeQuiet Dark Rock 5 Pro Cooler, Aorus B550M Elite, Asus Prime 4070s, BeQuiet 650W PSU.

Currently I have the following fan setup, apart from the two CPU:

Intake:

  • Two slim 120 fans at the bottom (Noctua)
  • PSU fan

Exhaust:

  • One 120mm at the back
  • One 120mm and a 140mm at the top
  • all BeQuiet fans

So all in all five fans plus PSU and CPU. Temperatures are great, but the noise is a bit over the top.

Is there a way to optimize my setup? Maybe less fans? Or reducing voltage?

Thanks for your insights.
