Computer Sounds Like A Monster

Zaman786Ahmad · Dec 25, 2013

just made my new build it has an AMD FX 8120 cpu with stock cooler and its really loud even when idle , also i have a case fan which is mounted at the front of the case and i have no other case fans , shall i move the case fan from the front to the back ? to help the CPU , also it sounds like its going to blow when the side panel is on but when its off its not that bad

(my case = AVP DEFENDER 400 K2)

thanks zaman

Get another fan for the back. Blowing air in is not enough, you also have to remove the hot air

what can i do for now ? i have no money as i spent it all on my build

Zaman786Ahmad :

It is loud because the CPU fan is working overtime trying to keep the CPU cool. It is doing that, because there is limited airflow through the case. Limited, because you have nothing sucking the hot air out.

Another fan is maybe $10.

Zaman786Ahmad :

Install the utility that came with the mobo to activate the temperature control for the CPU fan and the case fan. Connect the case fan to the mobo for that.

my CPU fan is running at 3529 RPM , MOBO?

I would definitely use any money you can get on a nice fan that removes air from your case. If you do not have an exhaust fan hot air just stagnates in the case. That will cause your CPU fan to operate at a higher RPM, therefor increasing the amount of sound created by the fan.

Motherboard. The motherboard came with a support cd, that contains some drivers and utilities. One of the utilities is responsible for the temp control of the fans.

mobo as in MO-ther-BO-ard

You can get a cheap but effective fan for 10 dollars. Might not be the greatest, but it will at least push air out. Other than that, getting a better cpu cooler might reduce the noise somewhat (aftermarket coolers are often quieter/better depending on what you get), but I would address the airflow issue first.

i can get a cooler master fan are they fine also i would like it to be as quiet as possible

If you are thinking about a new. (air) heat sink/CPU Cooler I would recommend the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. I have used it in the past, and I enjoyed it very much.
