And turning off the PC just isn't an option for all you guys out there, some people run servers. If it turns out to be your components making noise directly, then replace them. Zalman is great for cpus. Arctic silencer is supposedly good for making vid cards quiet. Anyways.
You really should decide on what component is making all that noise... I can tell which component is making noise just by listening to my pc 0.o Is that a bad sign? =p Just give it a try, make everything else in the room quiet, close your eyes and stick your ear close to the computer case. There are different types of whir and things like that. You can quickly tell which part of the case the noise is coming from, front or back, top or bottom. Let us know how it goes.
1. he whined
2. he's been offered various solutions, but is not limited to them
3. do you have money?
4. do you have the time and patience to undergo a more silent system?
you don't like:
-a loud system when you are sleeping
you probably want:
-to figure out how to leave you computer on and still sleep with the computer not making too much noise
you can:
-turn it off
-sleep somewhere else (or sleep through it I don't care, I have to put up with the swimming pool filter which is even louder than any computer I've heard in my life, and it's outside too!)
-configure your computer
-remove or replace fans, use software adjustment tools
-put the computer on hibernation
-whatever anyone has suggest thus far, etc.
-deal with it, because some Special Forces in the Middle East have to sleep for zero to 4 or 6 hours in a city that has rapid gunfire shots, sniper shooting, grenade explosions, cries of children getting hurt, radio signals, etc. and then they have to wake up when the sunrises and go back at fighting in a city fight - lucky if they can get 30 minutes of shut eye, most of the time they are trying to keep their sanity in tune and usually this requires trying to keep your nerves tight and ready to move when the mind says it needs to. what about the alert calls where they are needed right away and aren't given a chance to get any sleep for 24hrs/48hrs, days of staying up?
what about me, I have to put up with the swimming pool filter system, 20 times louder than your system, I got artic cooling devices in my system, it's not even quiter than a Celeron D Compaq computer.
oh yeah, some cases make more noise even with the same components swapped over from a silent machine. so consider that.
