Computer is loud.

Ok so I built my new rig 1 days ago and the fans are quite loud.

Any solution. I tried to use speed fan and I set it so it does the setting automatically. At first it was quiet then after some gaming it got loud.

What fans are they?

anuraj · 19 Jul 2011 at 19:58

The ones in the bitfenix shinobi and a coolermaster hyper 212 plus.

Is the cpu fan spinning to quickly?

Jordan97 · 19 Jul 2011 at 20:06

Lower the percentage. They won't spin as fast then.

anuraj · 19 Jul 2011 at 20:08

What percentage is recommended?

Jordan97 · 19 Jul 2011 at 20:09

Anything that will keep the temperatures low. If they are too high, then increase the percentage until they are at a level that you can work with.

I have a 2500k. What temperature is normal for that in prime?

I think 75% is good enough. Around 55 degrees on prime

Have a play dude see what works for you ...

Your idle temps look good and if your cpu hits 60C after a torture test of prime95 and furmark, I still wouldn't be concerned.

What's a good rpm for cpu fans?

You shouldn't change the speed of your CPU fan as they are PWM enabled which means that they will adjust according to the temperature.

It all depends on the case, 'DECENT CABLE MANAGEMENT' ( http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=19614818&postcount=376 ), the fan itself etc

For idle on my setup typical speeds are 900rpm for each of the 4 fans

For gaming I bump some of them to 1200

anuraj · 19 Jul 2011 at 20:49

I have it on 1400 for prime.

Is that quite loud?

That's a question that only you can answer.

All except one of my fans is quiet at 1400rpm, but in my 2nd machine, all the fans are loud at 1400.

Well its reasonable and I can live it. For some reason my bios doesn't change the fan speed I don't think

I have the same issue as this person.

Anuraj told me to post here so he didn't have to double post, I told him to edit his post but he said no one would read it.

Does anyone know a fix.
