Hello!

Recently I built a new PC (AMD FX8350 with Noctua D14 and AMD 7970 inside). The problem is that this PC is too loud.

All fans used in this build are pretty quiet (2 Nanoxia 120mm fans, one stock 200mm fan and 2 200mm Cooler Master Megaflow). PC is built in a Thermaltake Armor Revo Gene.



The question is

What is a better choice?

1) Buying some sound proofing material from a hardware store and sound dampening the current Thermaltake case.

or

2)Buying a Define R4 from Fractal and returning the Thermaltake case (I still have a bit of time to try that).



The time is running out (soon I will not be able to return Thermaltake case to the store), your help is really needed and appreciated.



Thank you

I would try buying some sound damping materiel and put it on the side panels, if it does not work buy the case, iv'e had the case before and i could not hear it.

Did you mean that you had Define R4? or Thermaltake?
