It’s typically fairly cheap in comparison to other parts to replace fans. There are fans that are specifically designed to be quieter. Maybe those will help?
You basically have 3 options.
One: get better fans.
Two: reduce your in-game and pc utilization settings so the fans don’t run as fast.
Three: get a headset microphone so you pick up less ambient noise.
Depending in the cooling solution you have… Speedcontrollers for the Fans, New and more silent Fans, plain out cleaning the PC, use push to talk or just put the PC away from you/put a provisoric wall between it and you. Like cardboard or smth like that ;p
I think theres a way to make my fans queiter in bios but I dont know what settings to put it on.
I went with a Thermaltake open air case and liquid cooling. The only fans is the power supply, which is quiet, and the video card which is also pretty quiet unless they are pushed hard…which they aren’t.
If your fans are really loud, I’d advise replacing them or getting fan control software.
A good and really simple piece of software to get is Speedfan. (h ttp://www.almico.com/speedfan.php) and it’s completely free. The program let’s you change the speeds of all individual fans as long as you know where they are plugged in.
I ahve absolutly no Idea where there plugged in.
The reason your case fans may be sounding like jumbo jets is due to overheating system components. So the easiest solution may be to do a system clean with a can of air, ensuring that everything is dust and dirt free.
However, if your system is under warranty, this will void it. But if it is under warranty, lodge a case with the manufacturer describing the loud fan problems.
If it is not under warranty, no problems, aside from your experience so you don’t break any components whilst cleaning.
If this fails to solve the problem, then it could be a case airflow issue and/or fan problem. You could buy a $50 after market case that is decently rated, and transfer the components. Installing into this case after-market quiet fans may help as well.
Adjusting the sensitivity of your voice activated microphone may help as well, or switching to PPT.
PS. I wouldn’t download aftermarket software forcing your fan RPM to go quiet. Usually your motherboard is telling your fans to push out the max RPM based on hardware temp. This indicates problems.
A good way to find out is to use the software and not be doing anything. Open up the case and turn the rpm’s up on one of them. It revs up, you found which fan is what on the sensors.
Also, as all fans beyond the video card and power supply, are basically like USB. You can use the software and unplug the power from one of the fans to see which fan on the software grays out.
Do not do that to the cpu fan
The good news with the cpu fan is it will be pretty obviously labelled.
First thing I would do is open your PC up and clear all the dust out of it. If you have dusk filters remove them and vacuum them off gently, try and get as much dust off the inside of the computer as possible as dust on fan blades and covering components will reduce the efficiency of the fans and contain heat more.
I’ve done this multiple times with my PC and it has help with reducing temps and therefore my fans don’t have to run as hard
NOTE: USE A PLASTIC VACUUM HEADER AS I HAVE HEARD THAT METAL ONES CAN RUIN YOUR ELECTRONICS
