Power Supply Noise

[slvrstang]

Hey everyone, I recently got a fan controller to reduce noise levels. I usually have it set for the top and side fan to be off and the two front fans to run on very low along with the back 120mm fan. This reduced noise a lot, but i can still hear the CPU fan, GFX fan and HD. On top of this there is a whining noise coming from the PSU, doesn't sound like a fan really, but its not really loud nor does it sound like there is anything wrong, its just the general "hum" computers make. Any ideas to make it quieter besides replacing the PSU with a "silent" one?

*sigh* the battle for cool AND quiet

Replace the psu fans with regular 80mm's.

ever heard of water cooling?

Blake seriously, are you a dumbass? How can you water cool a psu? I don't think you can unless you build a psu yourself and make a custom block for it which would be insanely hard.

LMAO @ Blake. I would just replace it.

I think they are 80mm fans in the PSU, but i don't think the fans are whats making the noise.

If the fans aren't making the psu noise then what is? There aren't any moving parts in a psu other than the fans.

Its the little atomic reactor that is making the noise.

Last time I checked atomic reactors were used in 2 things.

(1) - Powerplants.
(2) - Atomic bombs.
