Ok so. I have and amd FX-6300 cpu with stock cooler. (no overclock). I plan on buying a new cooler that is much quieter within the next 2 months or so. (im still a teen). Anyways my computer is in my room next to my desk. Is there anyway for me to tone out the noise my cpu fan makes when i play games that really stress the performance of it. (if that makes any sense)? Like any home remedies so to speak that let you ignore or not hear the fans. I already have a logitech headset. (non gaming. Just 2 headphones and a mic. They aren't sound canceling or cupped around the ears. They just rest on them) Sorry if this question is a little out of the ordinary or if you this is viewed as ignorant. I'm honestly just really curious, cause the fan is pissing me off...

sometimes if you open the side panel of smaller pc you can get more airflow into the pc to keep the cpu and gpu cooler and keep the fans from maxing out. one other tick people that game use in hot rooms is a box fan or larger fan on slow blowing into the case.

Are you sure it is the CPU fan? Using the same CPU on my other PC and when my grandson is playing his games I can hear the video card fans and case fans much sooner then the CPU - don't even know if I hear the CPU.
Also, if your powersupply is one with an 80-90 mm cooling fan, that will make a lot of noise, usually before everything else.
Gam3r01 is on the money, the easiest way to quiet a CPU cooler is replace it.
The Cooler Master 212 EVO is one of the best for the money;

Might be worth the money, also, to look into some circumaural (completely cover the ear) head phones: some good ones can be found for about the same as the CPU cooler.

Once you replace the CPU cooler, You can control the fan RPM and achieve both efficient cooling as well as the noise. If you have fan headers, I would recommend using them along with software like Asus Fan Xpert 2. Otherwise an aftermarket fan controller control panel (I recommend NZXT) is the best option.
