Re: Making my PC run Quieter

a fairly simple thing you can do is buy a silencing kit

it's basically just a bunch of rubber grommets and gaskets that you'd insert between the case and the component

ie, one for the psu, rubber to isolate the hard drive, fans, etc,etc

usually worth $15 or less, can make an immense difference in how quiet the system is

I think the noise is all coming from the fan constantly cranking.

If its the processor heatsink fan, then you may be able to find an aftermarket cooler to go on it. As that is a socket 478 processor, however, your choices are extremely limited.

Best one I could find is this one: »www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···35118115

Be sure to get some Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste to go under it.
