| 169113 | 2003-08-21 01:34:00 | Your power supply fan/s might be contributing to a fair bit of the noise. You could start there and look for a reasonably quiet PSU like Enermax. | PoWa (203) | ||

| 169115 | 2003-08-21 01:39:00 | Cheap and good rarely go together SJ, and nor do cheap and quiet. I'd seek out good quality quiet fans and not use cost as a criteria as fans are not that expensive anyway. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 169116 | 2003-08-21 02:34:00 | By choosing the AMD path I would have thought the noise factor would have been considered... ;) Anyway, try Thermaltake .. they have a silent series which is very very quiet ... Cheers |

| 169118 | 2003-08-21 04:36:00 | QuietPC NZ (www.quietpc.com) and Silent PC Review (http://www.silentpcreview.com/) are helpfull sites. If you are confortable with tinkering inside your PSU and your not conserned by warranty, you could replace the standard fan with a quieter one like a 80mm Panaflo FBA08A12L or an NMB B19. For you CPU fan/HSF, look for any thing that runs below 24dBA (less is better) and has sufficient airflow to cool your CPU, normally expressed in cfm. HTH Murray P |
