Hi, guys, I upgraded my system 1 month ago and switch from Intel to AMD.
After the first few minutes of joy. I found a very serious problem. Noise!
I am nearly mad now.
It is too noisy.
I get a vocanol2 fan. 1 motherboard for my KT7A raid. 1 fan for my Geforce2 pro. 1 fan in my power supply. 2 fan from my Antec 830(already unplugged), plus the noise from the HD, CDRW, espially the Delta 50X from Staples. All these stuffs work together to make my room like a garage.
Who can tell me how to reduce the noise of AMD system. I don't want to sell it.
Pls.

A Victim of AMD Noise
 
you list all these fans that you have, which i doubt you really need. then you say it is an amd noise problem. *snort*
 
So which components and/or fans did you change/add? It isn't like you switched motherboard and chip and suddenly your system got louder.

i think he needs all those fans. name one that he doesnt.
 
Well, first off, replace that Delta CD-ROM with a Toshiba CD-ROM or DVD-ROM. Other than that, the CPU fan is probably the worst noisemaker, you can try to find a quieter replacement for that but I don't know what will fit on that HS.
One of the reasons that I am sticking with Intel P3 systems for the moment is because of the cooling requirements of AMD systems. I REQUIRE low noise from my PCs and it's much easier to keep a P3 system happy with quieter CPU fans.
 
thanks, guys. I've already unplug the damn Delta and all the case fans. anyone thinks that I replace all my fans will solve this problem? the videocard fan is original , and vocanol 2, who can recommand a fan that is quiet and support to 1.4GHz.
my chip can run at 1.4, but I don't want.
 


<< You unpluged the fans??????? >>



Case ventalation is really really important, especially with a CRAP HSF like a volcano 2. Heck, you shouldn't even be using that on your CPU.

use 4 panflo L1A's at 7 volts to cool your case. Replace all the fans in your PSU with PanfloL1A's at 7 volts. Good fans for an entire cmputer will run you $100 or more, but if you want it to be quiet, you have to pay.
