Noise

[wezcas11]

hi i have a pm4 800 pro mobo i am currently running a celeron d 2.66ghz cpu and a radron 9800 pro gpu
i have the 400w power supply that camw with the tower i was woundering if i were to upgrade to a modden psu would it reduce noise ?

Modern PSU's do run fairly quiet. The noise could be down to case fans, vibration on the case, CPU cooler or GPU cooler. If your 100% sure its the PSU causing the noise, then by all means swap it out for a quieter one.

well it just gets really loud when i start running games and stuff like that

Well everything will speed up when the computer gets put under more load.

CPU fan will speed up to keep CPU cool
GPU fans will speed up to keep GPU's cool
And PSU fans will speed up, again, to keep it cool

It could just be a combination of all components. Getting a noise-reducing case might be a better over-all purchase. Cooler Master sell a case called the SILENCIO which had some alright reviews. FRACTAL are also known for their quiet cases too.
