Hey there i have a enclosure casing and it seems to be very loud, i have 1 fan on the front intake and the other 3 fans is to outtake is it normal for a com like that be noisy???

easiest way would be to undervolt ur fans.. run them @ 5v or 7v

this will make the fan run slower hence quiter.

u can add some sound insulation foam to reduce the noise.

Greetings,
I was wondering how to make the fan run at slower speed ?

buy a fan controller or use software if u're board supports.

or as above suggestion,buy some sound isolation foam and paste them to the inside of u're casing,need to know which point to reduce the most noice

all my fans including my processor HSF runs at 1600= rpm only. and i plug out the side panel fan somehow its still damn loud. could it be my graphic card fan has warn out??

open up u're casing and try listen which fans contribute to the most noise.what fans u're using?dba rating?

its like a choir

one ppl sing, cant hear anything

put 1k ppl sing --> audible liao

noobie boy here...

if i were u..
i will find CM or xigmatek or any silent fans laa..
at about rm20++, u can get those fans edi..

btw..
what type of fans u using rite now?
is it 80 or 120mm??

correct me if im wrong guys!!
larger fan is less noise if compare with smaller one rite??
hehe..
so..go get a bigger fan laa..
maybe u can try 250mm fans..(if possible laa)
hehehe..


peace!!!

Thanks for the tip .. I will take a look at the option on that.

the best, buy a air cond just to blow ur comp

if always on air cond...parents will complain de..lols..unless u would pay the electric bill =P

on topic.. search for those fans that blow a lot of air..don concentrate on high rpm...see those cfm..if i'm not wrong

Plug to mother board if can

Just get a fan controller or sound insulation foam to reduce the noise , or get both .

sound insulation foam good for noise reduction meh

if u asking for silent solution try reduce as much Db as posible second add some acustic foam that able to even lower the sound of your case,

I think nic got sell the black rubber sheet for noise absorbing purpose one .

Try ask he .

And the rubber screws is helping too .

And yeah , here's some tips .

Always secure your hardware properly . and use rubber feet for computer feet . This will help you reduce the noise

Tighten the screw . By tighten it , it will not vibrate crazily edi ... this is from my experience

It is actually not the brand problem .

+1

noise for us malaysian interpretation is normally associated with this issue

rubber gromets, silicon pad all hardly useful, unless your fan is seriously imbalanced and at the end of it's lifetime and it shake like a dildo, then these accessories will work

Take out all the fans and use LCS (liquid cooling system). There are many brands out there offering LCS system. There are options of bays for CPU, 3D Cards, Harddrive, Memory, mainboard. It also makes your computer performs better & important of all no more heat problems.

If you still want to stick to FANs, Coolermasters Silent Series LED fans are pretty good, 1800rpm and very silent and stylish as well. I have several 80mm of it equiped to my casing and all very silent. Each of them cost me RM28, not really that expensive.

money is the issue for lcs

btw if ts u care bout the leds in fan,try to avoid cm fans.their airflow are good and silent yes but their leds have high failure rates

and get some sound insulation foam or a fan controller

at times if ur fans ar dusty will also make noise...

well if u want to have a silent setup, try to uses highend cooler for the CPU and Graphic card couple with low RPM fan ...

and cover those unnecessary ventilation holes, leave the fan intake and exhaust ..

dusty fan wouldnt make noise... just if old fan with worn bearing will make noise...

Check out:

They are pretty hardcore on this topic and have guides on how to make a PC quiet.

This forum got alot of hidden dragon..

or just get one table fan n blow to ur pc..

like my friend... he open up all cd bay cover and put a table fan to blow directly in to the case

u can try use fan controller...or if u know about electrical,u can DIY ur fan controller...cos it usually used variable resistor to adjust the speed of ur fan

1pcs intake fan
3pcs outtake fan
so how loud was your comp?
is it louder then a vacuum cleaner?
or just your hearing too sensitive?

Yes but sumbeam reobus is a good choice too... 50 odd bucks i suppose. The heatsinks on the resistors are good too...

lolz...This will make ur case become more dusty...

Air filter might help to reduce some sound but it also might reduce the performance.

Kampung have more dust than city. Ok that's what's going on over here. And the home-use-fan really blow alot of dust around. Damn I need Aircond lah......

Usually I need to clean tose fans around once after 2 or 3 month, damn dusty. Ah hei, is there any 'Mini-Aircond' we can fit into the casing... LOL!

Oh hei, there is USB-fridge available.... heeheehee

Lol..I think city would be more dusty than kampung, since city has more transport travelling around, more construction side and more industrial area..

Anyone can post a sound reduction foam here?

get from car audio shop, after doing up cars, they may have looser smaller pieces to sell cheep cheep.

also, some fans run differently facing up or facing down. eg; slower when facing down ( airflow down ), faster when facing up ( airflow up ).

good bearing fans have little resistance while sleeve bearing fan or lower grade ball bearing fans are usually like this & they have shorter life span.

if ur curious to know how good ur fan is, try holding ur fan while its running & flip it around 360degree - any how flip, and u may notice at some angles, there is more vibration & the rpm drop. U can monitor this by plugging it into ur mobo 3pin header ( for rpm sensor able fan ) and monitor the fan speed.

quite fun to understand your fans' characteristics like that. then u can plan where & how to put them.

hf man..

Find "niclasteoh" he got sell a lot of staff to reduce sound!

go check in automotive garage section...

tonnes of people selling superlon, insuflex etc etc there...

my large fan also make alot noice...
small fan doesn't make it as loud as my large fan..???
Make as above say one choir cant hear anything
cos i got 3 large fan 250mm
only got 1 small fan 80mm
