noise reduction

Far more to it than this. What case have you got, what hardware is in it, and in particular what cooling?

Noise reduction works best by working out the loudest part then silencing it as much as possible, then repeating.

Neither acoustic matting nor rubber pins will help if your graphics card is screaming. Rubber mounting of fans is good, and I do it as a matter of course in every build, but it isn't significant unless fan vibration is the problem. Acoustic matting is one of the last steps, once nearly everything else has been dealt with.

If you can offer details of the system, Id be happy to help.

hi,

it's for my next build..............Lian LI PCA71A........air cooled stock fans, but the exhaust will be swapped over for Scythe kaze junai...i dont really ( to save money) want to swap the front 4 fans

my guess is the noise is mainly due to the fans moving through the air.....like a sword blade, it simply generates noise...and there aint much you can do; other than to redesign the blades

other than this.......OCZ 850.....AMD 965....the usual stuff

hang around..............does it matter which slot you put the graphics card into.....flipping sodding heck :mad::mad:

because if i remember rightly it does when you're putting the RAM in, my MSI wouldn't work till the RAM was put in the right slots, closest to the CPU
 
oh yes i'll be overclocking, but maybe not as extreme as you guys...3.8 or close...depends how well i do :cool:

yes just a standard high end card....the CPU twin tower cooler will definitely have a Scythe fan ....and the two rear exhausts close by as well........4 front fans standard.
