Hi All
For those who want to make their pc quiet. Here is a link to a website where
you can buy quiet fans or power supplies, enclosures for hard drives and
even water cooling systems that are completely silent. The link is
http://www.quietpc.com/uk
I reduced the noise my pc made after buying a hard drive enclosure which
more or less eliminated the annoying high frequency whistling that they tend
to generate.
I also bought a quiet power supply. The fans in them are large and run more
slowly. The only drawback is that they don't exhaust as much heat as the
faster running fans in convential power supplies. Hence you need a good CPU
cooler.
So I got a better CPU cooler and an in line sppeed control for it, as
slowing it's rpm down can dramaticaly reduce the noise. But it's a
compromise between noise and cooling efficiency. You have to experiment. If
you have a bios utility that can monitor the internal system and CPU
temperatures then you can keep an eye on how hot things are running and
adjust accordingly.
Darren.
