| 321462 | 2005-02-04 10:11:00 | I have a Celeron 340 D processor and of late the cooling fan has been very very noisy. It is probably spinning faster to combat the hot summer !!! I already have a system fan which is already doing its best. Any suggestions to reduce this noise? | madan284 (7145) | ||
| 321463 | 2005-02-04 10:29:00 | Buy a new fan. Some here have "refurbished" worn fans but that is only a short term solution, Worn is worn,and will continue to give greif untill replaced. |

| 321464 | 2005-02-04 20:47:00 | you could try putting a drop of cooking oil in the fan bearings...... | Prescott (11) | ||
| 321465 | 2005-02-04 21:46:00 | Any suggestions on a suitable silent fan? That said, the current fan is a new one barely two months old and came with the processor. | madan284 (7145) | ||
| 321466 | 2005-02-04 23:09:00 | Silent fans are not hard to fine, you want one that does the job thats the hard part, I'd go for anything that Thermaltake has, go visit their site and check one out that you like then post back here the link so we can check it out. ;) | titussop (7146) | ||
| 321467 | 2005-02-04 23:28:00 | Describe "noisy" Is it just working hard, ie, a normal fan noise only louder, or is there a screaching or crinding noise associated with it . If the former, a better more silent fan or more efficient heatsink and fan combo will reduce noise, depending on brand and your usage . If the latter, a new fan would do the trick (Panaflo, NMB) . Different fans have different CFM (cubic feet/minute airflow) and dBA (noise level) . Generally the faster a fan spins (RPM) the higher the airflow and noise . Smaller fans have to spin faster to provide enough airflow to cool what a larger fan will achieve at a slower, quieter speed . Look for effecient fans that balance good CFM with relatively low dBA . A good 80-92mm fan should be able to produce 24-30 dBA with about the same CFM running on at 12 volts . For quiet, aim for 18-22 dBA, the CFM required to keep your CPU cool enough will be whatever it is for the system to be stable (rather than concentrating on temperature) . For more info, Silent PC Review ( . silentpcreview . com/article63-page2 . html" target="_blank">www . silentpcreview . com) Your next step, if a silent PC becomes your mission, is to tackle the PSU and case fans . Volt modding /or resisters, coupled with a good quality fan, is the best method of reducing fan noise . |
