Hello guys,
I have an issue that my fan, im guessing, gets really loud when i am running a game, multiple programs or video creating. The PC does get quite hot. I bought this pc just before Christmas.

The specs are:

Any help and advice would be great.

Thanks, guys.

download a program such as speedfan to alter the speeds which will reduce the noise / airflow

Also with an AMD chip you are expected to see pretty high temps, the case is a fairly low budget case too which make restrict airflow and the cable management may be bad

Thanks for all the replies guys. Alot of you are talking about a fan controller, will this reduce noise by slowing it down? If it slows it down wont it get hotter?
Also, had advice from you guys to get a new fan, which would be the best for my PC?
Cheers guys.

Yep, just buy some new fans and the others *the other* wont need to be full loaded. Also if there is realy bad cable managment ..... fix it :D

I have external fans, 2 small at the back and 1 usual size on top. Which internal fan is it that i should be changing (theres at least 3)?
Also, will that sentry 2 fan controller fit my case?

Wait, how big are the fans? If they are 100mm and 80mm ofcourse they are going to be loud...

So is it that my pc thinks 'im playing a game now so i need to turn the fan up' or is it more cause its getting hot, and by getting this fan controller it will make it more intelligent as to how much it needs to run?

140mm? Is the fan at the front that big? Not at home so i cant check at the moment. Also which edition of that for front?

So what im thinking is getting:
Sentry 2 fan controller
AF120 Quiet Edition dual pack (side exhaust)
AF120 Performance edition (rear exhaust)
Silverstone 120mm Air Penetrator/AF120/AF140 depending on fan size and edition

Yes, that what you thing to get is great. But when you are going to get new fans there is not such a big need from the controller. If there is noise again that means the motherboard is too hot and its making the fans faster. If there is a problem write to me a PM.

And what would be the solution to cool the motherboard down?
