Is there anyway to reduce noise in my pc. I know i can use sound dampening foam but where do i put it. also i dont want to turn down fan speed because i want to keep my pc cool. Thanks
 
Solution
Right side panel completely, with that I mean where the panel on the side your cables are located. The other panel is basically no option because of the big window. It's really only 1 panel you can do.

You can also replace the fans with quieter ones if they're simply not made to be silent. Corsair SP Silent case fans are a good option. After that you can reduce fan speed but you might need a fan controller, you can reduce fan speed and still keep your system cool without problems.

Soft rubber mounts to avoid metal vibration.

Here you can buy sound dampening foam:

Installing foam shouldn't be hard at all. Cut the right size, glue it.
