I'm tring to make my system less noisy, questions on fans and temps...

[yhdd]

Hi I'm running a P4T533-C with a Pentium 4 1.6@2.13 and my usual temps are: idle-39c load-44c, Ive got the Antec 1080B case with a True 430W PSU

Current fans are:
2 rear fans
1 CPU fan
1 Fan on GeForce4
2 Fans on the True Power PSU
1 Side Fan by the Video Card

This is one noisy system anyways I was thinking about shutting down one or both of the rear fans and shutting down the side fan, do u guys reccomend this? What are avg temps for a P4? and is there any way to find out the temp of my OC'd (265/530) GeForce4 Ti4200? Also I have a slot for a fan up front should i move one of the rear ones up there? Ohh...and which way should the rear fans, side fan, and front fans be blowing?

Put one of the rear fans in the front. The rear fans should be blowing out (exhaust) and the front fans should be blowing in (intake). AFAIK, the side fan should be blowing in (supposed to cool the graphics card, I think). After you move the rear fan to the front post CPU case temps at idle and load. Also list what kind of fans you're using. I'm guessing you could probably get rid of at least one fan, maybe two and replace the rest of them with quieter fans like the Panaflow L1A. I know the PSU is quiet, and if you're using the stock HS/F, its quiet as well. I'm assuming that at least two of the case fans are Antecs, which operate at 30dB(A) IIRC, and two of them will put out a combined 34dB(A), which is moderately noisy. In addition, you graphics card very likely has a noisy fan on it.

Thanks,

So I'll put one of the rear fans up front and I'll disable the side fan.
