Right now, my computer sounds like a low speed hairdryer, slightly muffled. I'm not sure how else to describe it. It's too loud for my tastes, and I really want to know how to fix it.
In terms of fans right now I have...
Intake:
1x generic 80mm fan 28.8 dba/32cfm
1x Antec 80mm fan (came w/ case) 30dba/34cfn
Outtake
1x Antec 80 mm fan (came w/ case) 30dba/34cfm (on the side panel)
1x generic 80 mm fan 28.8 db/32cfm
CPU FAN
Enermax 92x25 mm variable fan set @ max: 34dba/64 cfm
PSU
Enermax EG465P w/ fan control with the fan set at the quietest settings...
I'm also running an IS7, and the northbridge fan maybe kinda loud? Not too sure about that but... quieting anything could help at this point.
My case is an Antec Performance II Mid Tower: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?DEPA=0&submit=Go&description=Model:SX635BII
I'm just looking for general tips in order to quiet down my comp, or better yet, something more comprehensive and specific for my case? I'm not sure if I want to actually do any serious modding to my case and I'm definitely sticking w/ air cooling, so any advice regarding would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
