Air turbulence... Can I fix it?

[WorldIndustries]

My case fan and PSU fan produce a lot of noise. Will cutting the grill out of them most likely reduce the noise?

Runs at 38 celsius idle, around 45 loaded, so can I remove the case fan?

absolutley, it will also drop your temps, I hate how some case manufacturers put so much metal infront of fan brackets.
cut cut cut!!

will definately lower temps my system dropped from 40c mobo temp to 29c all because those pesky grilles (cheap case very SMALL holes )

i lowered my temps by almost 7c by just zip tiwing a regular case fan onto my heatsink (its an Articcooler7 its a beast of a heatsink) but what kind of wholes we talking my case as honeycomb shaped ones, should i cut those out?

Just ripped the grill off my PSU and case... Idle is down to 32, even under load, rarely goes over 40.

Is also a tiiiiny bit quieter, but the heatsink fan needs to be replaced, since that's making them most noise...

I hate fans. My PC has like 6 fans in it. Now that it's cold outside where I live and my air conditioner isn't on anymore, My PC sounds like a freakin' helicopter about to take off....

IF I had the cash... I buy one of these $1200 ZALMAN completely passive cooling system cases.

truse me the hum of the drives will annoy you next i made an old p3 silent no fans and i thought i could get some quiet no i could hear the HDs spinning.

 

[WorldIndustries]

Haha. I'm just trying to get it to the point that it doesn't bother me when I try to sleep at night.

Yeah, dude why don't you just buy a fan controller for a few bucks?
You got the optimum cooling/noise then
