Computer Noise

Executive summary about Computer Fans by Michael Arcand

computer cooling fan

Computer noise is normal … somewhat. Your computer has at least two fans, one on the CPU (central processing unit, or the brain of the computer) and the other on the power supply unit.

Two more things that generate noise on your computer are your CD-ROM (and DVD-ROM) drives and your floppy drive (if you still have one!). Any noise that appears abnormal from these devices probably indicates a problem with the device. For example, a grinding noise in the floppy drive may indicate a bad floppy disk, or a bad drive.

It will sound exactly like any other fan bearings that you might have heard go out … from an air conditioner unit to a box fan … the fan bearings all sound the same when they start to fail.

Get to know your computer! Some noise is normal … but excessive noise from any component on the computer usually indicates excessive wear and tear, not to mention possible eminent failure.

Taming Your Very Noisy Computer

Executive summary about Computer Fans by Victor Epand

Does your computer drive you crazy with all of the noise? There is a simpler solution than having to purchase a complete computer. Check out these ultra quiet cases. They are much cheaper than a new computer and they are the quietest on the block.

The first case we reviewed was the Nexus Clodius Ventilation Pro Series. This quiet case has it all. It not only solves the problem of noise, it also solves the major problem you are having with heat if you are using your computer very much.

This quiet case will also allow you to mount an extra 80, 92 or 120mm fan on the top of the case as well as one on the bottom of the case. With all the ventilation holes on the top as well as the bottom, the airflow of your computer is totally solved.

Ventilation Pro Series quiet case has anti- vibration rubber feet which prevents resonance from the case.

SilverStone SST-TJ10B is based on the Temjin TJ09 chassis. It has totally perfected the fusion of a classic tower case with the newest technology around for a chassis.

This case has a mid-section air duct which does the job right by bypassing the hard drive cage with a 120mm fan. This 120mm fan draws the cool air from the room which offers additional cooling for those extended length graphics cards.

The Antec Sonata III is a very popular quiet case. The Sonata case is can be optimized with your choice of Nexus power supplies and Nexus 120mm case fans. Other features are the chassis air duct that will keep all the graphic cards and CPU running cool.
