sound proofing / Fractal Design Define R4 Case ?

How would two Noctua NF-S12B REDUX 700RPM 120mm Quiet Case Fan fair on this?

Obviously sound levels wise it would be a vast improvement but should I be wary cooling?

That's simple then. Buy her a replacement for each and then you can buy what you want for yourself :D

Hi guys,

Really need some advice as regards sound proofing my rig.

Been sharing my man cave with a noisy jet engine for around 18months when I decided on the Corsair Carbide 500R I went for looks rather than noise levels and the huge 240mm fan and vented sides looked cool :mad:

It really is horrible the noise it pumps out especially 30mins into a gaming session at times it over bares my headset.

Its time for a change more looking to sound proofing and will gladly lose some levels of performance in the process.

The case has to go I just don't think it can be saved its just too open and im looking after some research at the Fractal Design Define R4 Case has great reviews.

Would people agree with this choice?

Also can anybody recommend further sound proofing mods?

running an amd 8320 and a ati290x both have corsair enclosed water coolers installed (h80/h30 or similar)

Yes I have a fractal R4 my pc is silent in normal use and makes an almost inaudible amount of noise during gaming. If your 290x has a standard blower cooler then it is going to be loud in any case, maybe replace the blower cooler if it is out of warranty (or just buy a new card).

this is ref this thread http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/sho...php?t=18671950

today was the day my new two Noctua NF-S12B REDUX 700RPM 120mm Quiet Case Fan arrived just fit them on to my cpu liquid cooler and it shuts down after 10seconds.

From experience its as tho the cpu is over heating.

I boot up pc and its making a terrible noise winding/vibrating noise and shuts down first 10secs then press again straight after like 5seconds.

It does seem to be coming from the liquid cooler more so the part coving the cpu. is there something I missed? there is not a procedure I shoulda done ive literally unplugged fans unscrewed them rescrewed new ones plugged in connectors. hit power no this quiet peed as pc was fine just noisey
 
ty for all those who replied, problem seems have been solved for now.

I lied the system flat, unscrewed and rescrewed it tight reboot flat and noise is gone and seems to be running fine.

those new fans are making a huge difference noise wise but im not too sure if I have effected cooling and performance just been running a game for 20 mins what do people think of this http://imgur.com/1r6ZyNJ

I cant really make end or tail of it and didn't log temps before install :(
 
Will run proper this tests tonight, I played CSGO for around 2hrs straight last night (only game I play atm) after quiting my temp was 59o, which ive been told is fine.

My main concern is that on my old noisy cooler fans I used to put my hands over it at the back and it was very powerful the heat it blew out this is hardly anything. The directions are have them both blowing out so just worried that im keeping it cool enough i.e temps.
