I didn't think much of it at first, but everobody that has come in contact with my PC has one common gripe...IT'S LOUD.
ok, ok, I admit it could be sort of anoying, but maybe it's supposed to be this loud. I've determined that the culprit is mr volcano 7, whether he's at 3,000 rpms or 5,000 rpms it's quite noisy. Does anybody else have a volcano 7 or know of it to be loud? Recommendations on different HSF's would be great too, I picked the volcano 7 over the volcano 6 because I wanted to keep that chip cool (if you've read any of my other posts, it hasnt been too successful), in fact there's a possibility that the HSF could be a volcano 6 (even though I paid for a volcano 7 it was a barebones and came put on already and it just says Tt for thermaltake on it). Is there any way to quiet down the fan (make like a muffler of some sort?), putting the sides on helped a little bit but not enough. What hs's do you guys use and what do you think of them?
