I recently built a system specifically to be quiet. I got an arctic 64 silencer, with a high dba of 22, and an antec aria case, which has a ps fan that was totally inaudible at first.
Now it seems like they're constantly at top RPM, even though the computer is just sitting there. I don't like it and was thinking about getting an exchange or something.
My system may be underpowered, 300 watts, and I have a SATA, DVDRW+/-, athlon 64 2800, ATI AIW Radeon 9600XT, and three fans. Could that be the problem? Any recommendations?
I may have to sell this. Any bids? Wholesale for about $800, and it's got everything.
 
Common.

Maybe the fans are not installed properly...maybe no intake fans? I think it's rather silly trying to sell because of that problem. If it's hot inside, then naturally the fans spin faster. However, maybe you have a dust problem... . Check for that.

JAN :D
 
What are the temps? Many fans kick it up when the temps rise -- fix the problem not the symptoms :)
 
ME HATE NOISE
temps are fine because it's winter and i'm in N Idaho... figure 50-60 in my room.
I got an air can... seemed fine.
Intake fan.... Don't have any, didn't think they were necessary [for proper fan function]. The case is apart anyway, and it's noisy, even when it's cold and idle.
Nice new computer for sale, only $800. AIW RADEON 9600XT... SATA, DVD-/+RW
