Basically right now I find my pc to be too loud for my liking. What I would like to do is isolate between case/cpu/gpu fans to see which one is making the most noise. Is that even possible? The main problem is obviously the cpu. I can't not mount the heatsink and the pc won't turn on with no cpu thus the heatsink fan would always have to be on. Is there a way to not have the heatsink fan running and not ruin the cpu or some other way I can do this?
Is it possible to isolate fans to see which one is the loudest?

One of these might work:

Make a tube out of rolled up paper or cardboard. Put one end near the fan and the other to your ear.
Or... use a program like speedfan to measure the rpm of each fan. The highest speed will be the noisiest fan. Usually anything under 1000 rpm will be quiet.
