Hi everyone!

I have a pc which is a bit loud.
It has a r9 280x toxic edition and a h55 watercooler.
Now i have 3 coolermaster sickleflow fans. The fans are in a coolermaster k380 case.
My quiestion is:what can i do to reduce the nois but keeping a low temperature? I have currently my eyes on corsairs SP and AF fans quiet edition. 2 SP's in a push-pull configuration for the h55 and 2 AF quiet editions for the bottom and side panel.is this a good idea to get a quieter system? Or should i also look for another case? If so, could you guys help me finding a silence case?

Thanks for the help!!
Greats from holland
 
Noctua and Corsair are pretty quiet fans. Or you just turn down the rpm on your current fans eg add a reducer. What rpms are your fans doing?

Where is most of the noise coming from? Press your ear against the case. Open the case and have a listen.

I have no idea at what speed they are running, i havent pluged them in my mobo but directly into my psu, the side of the case is making the most nois. Also, what is a reducer? Is it a place where you put al fan headers in and with a sort of volume controller on it? Or is it a sort of extra cable which reduces the power to the fans?

Sorry for all those questions
