i got 4 vantec tornados recently because i wanted the best cooling possible.. but now they are way way loud. I need some tips on making my comp quieter

i have this case..

i have 2 tornados on the back as outake, and 2 on the side as intake, 1 vantec spectrum on top, and 2 in the front. all are 80mm.. im looking for something pretty with nice airflow to cool my case... water is out of the question unless someone can reconmend me a reasonable priced set.

Get rid of the side and top fans. Use the fan controller and turn the remaining 4 fans down to 5V.

im thinking about the vantec multi fan controller, with all tornados at low, will it have good cooling while being quiet?

4 tornados for case fans.... now that is loud. I would agree on using the fan controller to help.

Or you can use mod the power connector so that it receives 5v directly (only for molex connectors)

Run them at 5V. 12V for tornados, really sounds like a tornado. 😛

I would suspect so. What are you running in there that gives you so much concern over heat? The beautiful part is, if your temps are too high you can increase the voltage with the fan controller.

well here are my specs:

Intel P4 3.2E (prescott)
Corsair XMS CMX512-3200
ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe
ATI Radeon x800 XT PE with ATi Silencer 4
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
Western Digital 120 IDE 7200rpm
Western Digital 250 SATA 7200rpm

the things that im most worried about is my cpu and my video card. Im going to order the controller soon and see how it is

Dell cools a computer like that with one fan. 🙂
