Hi Guys  , Anyone have any idea to reduce the fan noise in the casing? FYI, i have 5 casing fans (all from Cooler Master) and my Processor is still using stock cooling fan (AMD FX8350). I have intention to upgrade to liquid cooling for processor but thing is i just bought the processor last year and scared that will void the warranty if change to aftermarket cpu fan. Any recommendation on this, folks? Suggestions will be highly appreciated~! Thanks p/s: mobo - msi 990fxa, gpu-radeon hd7850, casing-CM USP200 |

QUOTE(Clem1982 @ Apr 14 2014, 12:55 PM) there are a few ways you can do it... 1- download SpeedFan, FOC and easy to use but your fans must be plugged into your motherboard headers and it's not perfect 2- change your fans to quieter ones or reduce the number of fans you're having inside the chassis 3- get a fan controller Any recommendation for quiet fans, bro?  |

QUOTE(kherel77 @ Apr 14 2014, 02:04 PM) All your fan connected to Mobo? MSI got it's own software to control the fan (Control Centre-Green Power tab). Even my 3pin-2000rpm Evercool fan can speed down to 800rpm using it... Yes, i have 1 rear, 1 bottom, 1 front, 2 side panel.. (total-5 fans 120mm) but i notice 2 side panel fans humming very loud, although i bought CM Xtraflo 120mm 2 pcs and says that noise only 19db.. If we lower the rpm, will it affect the humidity inside the cpu? maybe temp will go up, no? |

QUOTE(kherel77 @ Apr 14 2014, 03:42 PM) Noise measurement in fan specs is noise that cause by air pushed by fan in bracketless condition. Your side panel's fan humming is cause by that honeycomb ventilation hole plus vibration of that side panel. Try ditch that side panel fan first, lower others fan speed using that software & monitor your temp. I think not very much diff increasing, if any. If still not satisfy, change to silent fan like Bitfenix Spectre/AC F12 PWM/Noctua. Plus fan rubber gasket if ur budget allowed. Oh, now i understand..it's best for me to remove the fans..its quite loud tho..thanks again for the info sifu!  |
