My computer is too loud!

[SlipperyDog]

I hate the sound of a whirring fan... What kind of good fans are out there that are quiet?

 

[StinkyMeat]

I doubt it.

Are you talking case fans or CPU fans?

 

[Rallispec]

you should hear mine... its insane. If i leave the case open at night its so loud it keeps me awake. punching it makes it quite down

SlipperyDog you may have better luck over here: http://subscriber.anandtech.com/categories.cfm?catid=37 Hope it helps

Wrong AT forum to really ask the question. Only thing I know is that if the brand of the fan is "Delta", you'll probably want to remove it and get something else. Look for some of the many fan/heatsink combo reviews around.

My laptop is too quiet, I like the humming of fans.

Panaflo L1A's 80mm case fans.. do a search in hot deals for "panaflo" and should list places to get them.

 

[SlipperyDog]

i think the sound is mostly coming from the case fans

Quiet PC has some nice fans.

You'll get better answers in the correct forum for this type of question.

Mine can be heard through 3 walls and several doors, while the shower is running.

Oh wait... That was cause I had forgotten to turn the sound down while Wolfenstein was trying to connect to a server. Neighbours must love me, loud explosions, gunfire and shouting in German for 45 minutes while I took a shower Ah well, no one complained, or at least I didn't hear it

this subject has been beaten to death over in cases and cooling. Do a search over there for "quiet"
