Most of us OC'ers have many fans, and they hum away as they cool our rigs. There are two solutions: one is to buy a fan controller and another is to buy sound absorption pads. The pads are the cheapest, depending on where you get them. This is my rig, and I have laid out how I have done my set up.
Step 1: Buying the sound absorption pads.
Step 2: Find a place that you know sound will be a problem and stick pad there. NOTE: be sure not to cover air holes or screw holes in doing this.
AFTER
As you go through your machine, try to find places that are bare metal and are not interfering with anything vital. Here are the rest of the places I put the mat down.
As you can see, I have placed the mat all around the machine. Just a little bit goes a long way. I used spare strips to get smaller places. The more you use, the more it will deaden the sound. As of right now, I just barely hear the six fans running
