Noisy Fans

kittysacattack · 02-16-2008, 11:55 AM

My case fans make too much noise. Is there a way to make them more quiet, or do i need to get different case fans. They are 80mm Mascool ball bearing fans. one connects to the motherboard, and two others connect to the psu. any help is appreciated, thanks.

You can reduce fan speed (of one in MOBO) or just try separate them from your Tower. They vibrate but once they touch the tower they stop vibrating and tat energy becomes sound energy. So dont let them touch the Case or let it touch a little

Getta fan controller or replace them (if the bearings are going).

what is a fan contoller, where do i find it. My fans are band new, so i dont think the bearings are bad. I read somewhere that you can put oil in the bearings, i might try that one. Also, how can i install the fans without letting them touch the case. Thanks for any suggestions.

Some good ones. I've been thinking about getting the Logisys one (first one).

thanks a lot, this will solve the problem. Those fans are crazy loud, and ruin my move watching experience.
