re: Make Computer Quiet Tuesday, July 1, 2008 at 9:11 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Joe (64 messages posted) This is the key to fans and noise. The smaller the fans, the more they must spin to move the same air. Of course, the more they spin, the more noise they generate. My older computer was comprised of 8 80mm fans, a smaller fan for the northbridge and one of similar size for the video and a 60mm rear exhaust. Very noisy. In my newer system, I went with a smaller case which contained room for two 120mm fans, one incoming and one exhaust, which replaced the need for most of the 80mm ones from my old system. A much quieter system altogether.
