Hello, i just tested each fan inside my computer individually to see which ones were really the loudest.
First off, the 2 120mm fans, and the 1 80mm fan that i have are really quiet and i am very satisfied with them.
Second, the fan that came with my AMD does not seem to be too loud either, it could be a lot better, but it isnt my biggest worry at the moment.
I do not know how loud my GPU fan will be, but i am not expecting it to be too loud (ATI X800XL)
I am in the process of picking out a PSU, and i plan on getting one that is really quiet. Seasonic probably...
Finally, the fan that is annoying the **** out of me, is the chipset fan on my motherboard. Now i know i cannot just unplug this fan, because then it would ruin my chipset, but i wanted to know if i can plug it into my AEROGATE II. Well i mean, i know i CAN plug it in, but SHOULD i? It runs at 7500 RPM on full blast, but if i plug it into my AEROGATE II i can slow it down to 5000 RPM and then it is almost completely silent. My motherboard is an ASUS A8V-E Deluxe, so it has one of those VIA K8T890 chipsets.
I also wanted to know, SHOULD i connect my CPU fan to my AEROGATE II as well? The AMD fan hit a top speed of about 3000 RPM, but if i slow it down to 2000 RPM, it is also very quiet. So what should i do?
I guess i could just get watercooling if i really wanted too. I have nothing better to spend my money on...but if i can slow these speeds down, i dont think i will have to...
PS - dont forget, the AEROGATE II also has temperature readers that come with it, so if i did connect my CPU fan to the AEROGATE II, i can thermal tape a sensor to my heatsink, and i will know the temp if my cpu is too hot...
EDIT: I forgot to tell you that my CPU is an AMD 4000+ San Diego, so it should run a little cooler than other AMDs, so that could be a major factor in whether i should moniter the fan speed or not...
