| 606056 | 2007-10-29 04:27:00 | Wow thanks for all the feedback. I've pulled the side cover off to have a bit of a listen. OK 3 case fans the front one of which seems to be the loudest. I have a NVIDIA GeForce 6600GT and it seems to be making the most noise (sort of rattling). The specs of my PC are as follows: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 1.0GB DDR400 RAM Gigabyte nVidia GeForce 6600GT 200GB Seagate 7200 SATA Hard Drive 320GB Seagate 7200 SATA2 Hard Drive LG DVD reader/writer Thermaltake Tsunami Dream Case with PSU Thanks again for your feedback and if you need any more info let me know. Checkout in your motherboard manual which fans on your m.b support speed adjustment. Then download and have a play with SPEEDFAN which can give better control over most fans. Yeah the 6600 GT are really noisy, but you can buy a 3rd party replacement cooler for it for about $40. DC any fan that you think might not be needed but use speedfan to monitor the TEMPS. |

| 606057 | 2007-10-29 04:57:00 | Fans would likely create a far greater level of noise than anything created by vibrations. Rubber dampners would be a waste of money unless the rest of the PC has been sufficiently quietened. Pfft, I use rubber dampners and they made a difference alright. Fans do make the most noise, doesn't mean you cant attack elsewhere alongside with changing the fans. |
