[QUOTE="dm15644, post: 183746"] It's not necessarily the PSU fan and case fans. It can also be hard drives and anything else with moving part. First, check what is creating most noise. You can for instance stop the fans one by one to see which makes the most noise. Try to stop the PSU fan for a moment. Unplug the HDDs. When you have found out which components produce most noise, you can start improving the situation. Case resonance can also be an issue. Maybe you just need to dampen the most noisy component. Generally, 60mm fans tend to be a bit more noisy. 80mm can be ok if you have the correct product (e.g. Nexus). See also [url]www.silentpcreview.com[/url] for lots of information.
