Okay i have an issue, i built a PC but it's WAYYY TOO LOUD for my taste, it has a total of seven fans (no brainer that the reason)... here is my case4

What can i do to reduce the noise, i'm planning on getting a CPU cooler without a fan?... i had a Core 2 Duo, any help on the best one E7400, and my HD3850 also makes noise, and VGA Cooler without noise?... and is there like silent 80MM fans?
 
Looks like the case has a single 80mm rear fan, which wouldn’t move much air through the case. That one, plus PSU, CPU, and GPU fans. Where are the other three fans? The CPU, GPU, and PSU should be controlled automatically by temp sensors and should be nearly silent. Really the rear fan is the only one that you should be able to hear. Maybe it’s not enough to keep the temps down inside the case and the other three are spooling up to try to cool off the components that they’re suppose to protect. I’ve got a 140 blowing in, two 120s blowing out, plus four fans inside my case and it’s not loud at all, though none of the case fans need to spin over 1000 RPM. If I only had a single 80 in the rear, I’d put a 120 in the top panel. I added one in my top panel. Wasn't too hard to do.

What type of speed control do the three case fans have? Is powering the case fans off the MB with BIOS speed control an option or does it only have a socket for the CPU fan?
