Case noise need help ASAP

tripmctwist · 29-September-03, 07:57 PM

I have:

4 - 80mm case fans
1 - Dragon Orb
2- PSU fans

and all these fans and drives are driving me nuts for noise!

Any advise as to how I can insulate my case and reduce noise significantly??

all advise is apreciated, however I'm not interested in buying a new cpu fan/heatsink, I'm only interested in insulating and reducing noise.

Thank you for your time and all advise.

fan speed controller for when ur not doing intense stuff

Yep, fan controller would be good.

Also, you can use the noise dampening material...but those tend to raise your temps...

Gumby55 · 29-September-03, 09:18 PM

that, they do, and very well too

look into stuff like these

or different case fans

but fan controller would be your best bet

I use Panaflo M1A's almost exclusively. Dang quiet, and not much less effective than the wind-tunnel funs usually used in cases... Gotta hunt to find 'em though...

Get some foam rubber and build you a shroud to cover your PSU ans rear case fans. make the noise travel through the shroud, and come out quieter.

Try SPCR Forums, they have an absolute WEALTH of info.

you could also try only posting 1 thread about the subject and not wasting server space.
