tower noise, need help

tripmctwist · 29-September-03, 07:52 PM

I have:

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

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

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

How about deleting one of these duplicate posts first?

The easiest...and probably best solution would be to either buy or make a rheostat baybus to control the speed of the fans, thereby decreasing their noise level. Insulating the case can get expensive and yield little improvement. A better option would be rubber gromets for the fans.

What kinds of fans are those 80mm anyway?

Edit---Why the hell did you make 3 focking threads of the same exact topic? Pick one forum and stick with it. They all show up on the front page anyway.

I didn't mean to post it so many times but I thought different people read it in different forums. Sorry for posting in so many areas, if you tell me how to delete them I will.

thank you for some ideas though!

Ok, np. To delete the posts, Click on your post, select edit at the bottom of the post. Once the edit screne comes up one of the first things at the top is a check box that says delte post or something to that effect on the left side. Once checked, on the very right side just click the delete (delete now) button and viola..

There are several rheobus' out on the market here are just a few to control your case fan speeds...

sorry again, I followed directions, and when I clicked delete, it said I don't have permission to delete my own thread, I tried signing out, then signing back in and still it said I didn't have permission to delete my own post.
