Quiet PC --- A typical PC may generate 36-45dB(A) noise level. 33-36dB(A) is considered low noise level. Below 33dB(A) is considered quiet. Below 28dB(A) is considered silent. Someone wishing to build a Quiet PC is attempting to create a PC with under 33 dB(A) overall noise. There are many ways to make a PC quieter. Some of them include: using quieter fans, lowering/controlling fan speed, using quieter hard drives or quiet hard drive enclosures, the 7v trick, Dynamat, Grommets, and many others.

Isn't it true that the Ohm's Law cannot be applied when there is a temp. change?
Conductivity changes with temperature, so the results will change, not really a lot, but it is slightly more than negligible for some applications.
