try putting oil in the bearings for an inexpensive quick fix

if its only the 2 fans, and there annoying you that much, just replace them with low noise fans.

What does it sound like? grinding, vibrating, or sorta like a hoover?

[DanBex]

he said above theres a slight grinding noise coming from somewhere lol.

Hi all.

I replaced the 250w psu with a 400w psu today. And there was a slight grinding noise when booting but that dissapeared aftter a few seconds, the computer is still rather noisy so i presume the cpu fan is to blame.

Temps are:

Mobo 31c
CPU 32c
CPU fan speed 5273 rpm (too fast?)

[DanBex]

yea that is rather fast, urmm... maybee the only thing to do is replace the fan?

[Axegrinder]

Right ok ill see what i can do about it.

[DanBex]

you can always try slowing the fan down with 'speedfan' dont slow it down to the point your CPU is over heating tho

xD You keep missing the simple solutions peoples throwing at you , if money isn't an issue then ignore this post but if i was you id at least try and either grease or oil your fans ball bearings its simple but effect in most circumstances.
