PC guru ?, noise
What can one do to quiet PC noise?
I know water cooling is an option but it seems overly complicated and labor intensive and expensive, relocation of the tower would be inconvienient for access.
What I've got has 4 fans running and a constant "whistle?" from the HDD; I'm giong to replace the chipset fan/cooler with a large heatsink, but that's the smallest and quietest as it is now. Is it possible to install a fast cpu and clock it down to where it can run cooler with heatsink only, or will this make it run slower than the clocked-down speed?
I'm thinking that I'm not the only person who finds their PC noisy and intrusive, what have any of you done to quiet your unit down, and with how much success? Is it possible to make these things completely silent?
