Hey, I'm trying to reduce the amount of noise my Dell puts out. I just replaced the hard drive to a Seagate Barracuda IV and replaced the CPU fan. Now its only the power supply and video card thats left. I know that Dell uses a proprietary power connector so I was wondering if there is a converter from ATX to the Dell proprietary connector or should I just change the fan in the psu?
The fan on my video card also is a bit loud. Its a VisionTek Geforce4 Ti 4200 128MB. I can't hear the noise from the video card fan since the psu fan is louder so its not that important (as yet) but suggestions are welcome.
I'm guessing that if I change the power supply, it would void my warranty. But it doesn't matter since it ends in a few months.
Let me know what you think I could do.
Thanks
