Streacom’s ST-DB4 Fanless Chassis is unlike any other chassis around, it offers fanless CPU cooling all enclosed in what can only be described as a work of art! The whole chassis is bisymmetrical, so it looks the same no matter what angle you look at it. The extruded aluminium 13mm thick side panels have been CNC’d to blend perfectly together with the end result being one of pure beauty!
The image below gives a top down view of the DB4a Fanless Cube with the black perspex top panel removed, showing how the PC will look once components have been installed. The PC in the image consists of the ZF240 PSU, a M.2 SSD with standard CPU heatpipe cooling. Due to the orientation of the motherboard the ports are on the bottom of the chassis. The only downside to this is that it is not the most practical if you need to insert any USB devices on a regular basis, we therefore recommend an external USB hub to make attaching/removing USB devices a breeze.
Top Performance and Reliability
The PC can be configured to your exact requirements with plenty of options in terms of processor performance, memory and storage. At present the PC can be configured with a AMD 5000 series G-suffix processor. These new APUs (Advanced Processor Unit) incorporate an updated graphics processor (compared to the 3000 series), as well as adding more cores and threads, which boosts overall performance and multi-tasking. There is also a selection of compatible 3000 series AMD CPUs that must have a graphics card to be installed, see the configurator below for more information. This PC can also be configured with up to a whopping 64GB of DDR4 RAM and there is a large range of 2.5” storage drives available.
Despite its diminutive size, it packs a real punch thanks to being equipped with a AMD processor. These processors gives fantastic performance and low power consumption, allowing the machine to be cooled without any forced air whatsoever. The whole case acts as a processor heatsink, with heat being efficiently transferred from the CPU to the chassis via six copper heatpipes.
HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 Built-in
The ASRock motherboard features one HDMI 2.1 and a DisplayPort 1.4 port, which means when paired with an AMD APU it is easily able to output a resolution of 4096 x 2160 while running at 60Hz for flicker free images. This makes this motherboard and an AMD APU the perfect match if you are looking to drive a 4K TV/Monitor, as all the APUs available for this PC are equipped with Radeon Vega Graphics for immersive visuals.
Radeon Graphics
AMD’s Ryzen 5000 series processors with a “G” suffix feature Radeon graphics built right into the CPU. The performance of the graphics on these processors out performs any other onboard graphics previously released. The number within “Radeon Graphics” indicates how many graphics cores each processor has. For example, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics 7, has a total off seven graphics cores. The larger the number the greater the performance.
Additional options
Extra CPU cooling
There are two options in the configurator below available for the DB4a Silent Cube. The first is the ST-LH6 Additional CPU Cooling Kit, which is not required but available if you want to extend the CPU cooling onto two sides of the DB4 chassis. This will provide additional cooling to help reduce CPU temperatures due to the extra surface area.
Fanless GPU Cooler
Streacom have now made available a GPU cooling kit especially design for the DB4 chassis. Just like the CPU cooler, this GPU cooler uses heatpipes that are attached to the graphics card and then transfer the heat to one of the side panels. If you would like us to install this GPU cooler onto a compatible graphics card then please select “Nvidia (Graphics card model) with fanless GPU cooler” under the section PCI Express slot in the configurator below.
Add an optical drive
If an optical drive for playing/reading CDs, DVDs or even Blu-Rays is required then the second option has you covered. The ST-DB4ODD kit is supplied with a special bracket that attaches to the back of the motherboard panel allowing for a slot-loading drive to be installed (available in the configurator). It also includes a new top panel that has a cutout making it easy to eject and insert optical disks. Please note that there is no eject button option with this kit, therefore to eject a disk from the drive you will need to do so via Windows Explorer (right click the optical drive then click eject).
Power supply
The DB4a Fanless Cube is configurable with either a 120W/160W NanoPSU or with the ZF240 240W PSU. All options are totally fanless and therefore do not generate any noise. To help you choose the correct one for your system just follow these guidelines. Opt for the ZF240 240W PSU if the PC is being configured with a graphics card. For stability reasons we do not recommend the 160W NanoPSU when a graphics card is installed. The combination of a CPU and graphics card, along with the other components installed in the system encroaches towards/beyond the limit of the 160W PSU.
If you are not installing a graphics card and are looking to add a maximum of two storage drives (either M.2/SSD or HDD) then the 160W NanoPSU would be ideal. Please also note that the NanoPSUs are supplied with an external AC adaptor block that will sit outside of the PC. The ZF240 is a single unit that does not require a AC adaptor block, making for a cleaner installation.
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 chose an SSD or M2 drive as a boot drive that contains the operating system and important programs and a conventional HDD to store other data, but remember that if you intend to have a totally silent PC you might want to forgo the HDDs all together as they will make some noise due to their moving parts.
Clean Build™ Promise
These days, many pre-built PCs often rely on cash incentives from software companies to support their prices. These companies pay hardware manufacturers to pre-install limited or trial versions of their software, hoping that customers will eventually opt to upgrade to the full version. Unfortunately, this approach has a downside: it fills the new PC with unnecessary “junkware,” leading to an inflated operating system and performance issues.
At Quiet PC, we firmly believe that customers deserve the utmost performance from their brand new PCs. That’s why we proudly offer our Clean Build™ promise with every system we build. When you choose one of our PCs, we install only the essentials: the operating system (if requested), motherboard drivers, OS updates and Windows Security. Say goodbye to annoying pop-ups and nag screens. With our clean build promise you can immediately start using your new PC without the hassle of uninstalling numerous unwanted programs. Experience lightning-fast boot times and enjoy optimal performance for 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 at least 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.
