Reducing heat with more efficient airflow, better PC placement, and cleaning can help reduce noise. You can also manually control your fans, replace noisy and inefficient coolers, or swap out clicky hard drives for silent solid-state drives instead.<\/p>\n<p>Does your computer sound like a jet engine? Maybe you\u2019ve noticed some rattling, drones, or whines you\u2019ve not heard before. Let\u2019s take a look at what causes a PC or laptop to get noisy, and what you can do about it.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heat_Fans_Noise\"><\/span>Heat + Fans = Noise<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Your computer should make the most noise when it\u2019s under load. Expect a lot more fan noise when you\u2019re doing things like playing <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s or running software that taxes your computer like video editors or <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> converters. This is normal behavior, where fans ramp up to dissipate heat quickly.<\/p>\n<p>You can help this process along by improving airflow inside your case. It\u2019s important to have designated intake and exhaust points within your fan. Ideally, you want one side of your case to suck in cool air and another to exhaust it. You can control this airflow by placing case fans inside your computer.<\/p>\n<p>You should also make sure that your PC can breathe wherever it\u2019s placed. Stuffing your case in an enclosed space like a media unit or a cupboard can cause heat to build up within the confinement. Instead of sucking in cool air, your PC will continue to suck in warm which will make the fans work harder to dissipate heat and create more noise.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure your PC has lots of room around it. If this isn\u2019t possible, consider installing fans into your media unit or wherever the PC lives to help exchange hot air for cool air. Follow the same principle as your case: intakes for cool air, exhaust points to remove warm air.<\/p>\n<p>Reducing the ambient temperature can also help. Open a window to allow cool air into the room, or in the warmer months consider running the AC for a few hours a day to take the edge off. All sorts of devices can contribute to the ambient temperature including monitors and TVs, network equipment, and storage devices.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blow_Out_the_Cobwebs\"><\/span>Blow Out the Cobwebs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Clean your PC case to remove dust, fluff, and other debris that\u2019s become tr<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ed inside. This\u00a0acts as an insulator, trapping warm air around some of the hottest components in your computer case. Don\u2019t forget to also clean fans, coolers, and heatsinks which can also become clogged.<\/p>\n<p>You can clean your PC with a can of compressed air. Doing this regularly is essential if you have pets that shed hair. To make things easier, consider installing dust filters over the intakes. You can buy cheap magnetic dust filters that snap on, or order cut-to-size rolls specifically for your case. Some manufacturers (like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.corsair.com\/us\/en\/Categories\/Products\/Accessories-%7C-Parts\/PC-Components\/Cases\/Carbide-400R-Case---Dust-Filter-%28black%29\/p\/CC-8930001\">Corsair<\/a>) even make filters for specific cases.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\nMagnetic Dust Filters<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-img \">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51fxzsq0dOL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"product-title \">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Magnetic_PC_Fan_Dust_Filter\"><\/span>Magnetic PC Fan Dust Filter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"product-features\">Snap-on dust filters for your computer case air intakes, designed to cut down on the number of unwanted particles that enter your case.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>If you go the dust filter route you will need to make sure that you clean the filters regularly to ensure that the PC can still breathe. Dust and fluff can quickly clog up your filters, which in the short term can be worse since it will block off intakes completely.<\/p>\n<p>Laptops can get noisy for this reason too since the channels inside the chassis through which heat exchange takes place can be narrow and easily clogged. You might be able to open up your laptop to clean it, but be aware this will often void any warranty and that not all laptops are easy to reassemble.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Control_Your_Fans\"><\/span>Control Your Fans<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can monitor core components for heat to see how hot things are getting. This is especially useful if you do it while your computer is under load, to ensure that your current cooling is adequate. Apps like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cpuid.com\/softwares\/cpu-z.html\">CPU-Z<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/gpuz\/\">GPU-Z<\/a> (as well as manufacturer-specific graphics card utilities) can give you an idea of how hot things are getting.<\/p>\n<p>Different components are rated for different maximum temperatures, and you\u2019ll find the exact maximum temperatures for your particular hardware listed on the manufacturer\u2019s specifications. For a CPU, expect a temperature range of between 104\u00baF and 176\u00baF (40\u00baC and 80\u00baC) while under load. Temperatures higher than 194\u00baF (90\u00baC) mean your processor is getting too hot.<\/p>\n<p>The same is true for your GPU. The manufacturer will specify maximum temperatures, but as a rule of thumb, expect around 158\u00baF (70\u00baC) when playing a challenging game, with sustained temperatures above 185\u00baF (85\u00baC) considered too hot for most graphics cards.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re happy with your current temperatures and are convinced that your fan setup is adequate, your case isn\u2019t clogged with dust, and your fans are <i>still<\/i> making too much noise you can control them. How you do this depends on components like your motherboard, GPU, and the fans you have installed in your case.<\/p>\n<p>How your fans connect to your computer can impact what you can do to control them. Sometimes it\u2019s a case of digging through your BIOS settings, other times you might be able to use an app like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/almico.com\/speedfan.php\">SpeedFan<\/a> to control your fans from within Windows. Utilities like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.msi.com\/Landing\/afterburner\/graphics-cards\">MSI Afterburner<\/a> can help you control your GPU fans separately using profiles or curves.<\/p>\n<p>Be careful when doing this since the slower your fans, the slower hot air will be exchanged for cool air. Less noise <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly means higher temperatures, so make sure you find the right balance since heat can cause stability issues in the short term and reduce the lifespan of your components over time.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Replace_Noisy_Case_Fans\"><\/span>Replace Noisy Case Fans<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If your fan is making a droning noise, the bearings may have failed and it\u2019s probably time to replace it. If you\u2019re hearing a clicking or buzzing noise, a cable may be caught on a fan blade so open up your case and carefully inspect all of your fans to see if you can spot any obvious problems. You can turn your computer on when the case is open to better isolate the problem.<\/p>\n<p>You could also try replacing some of your noisier fans with fancier models. Generally speaking, larger fans don\u2019t have to work as hard as smaller fans since the larger blades are more efficient at moving air. This means they can run at slower speeds. Make sure you\u2019ve got room in your case for this. Fan sizes are measured in millimeters, like 90mm, 120mm, or even 140mm.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\nQuiet Case Fan<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-img \">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41WW6lGd9sL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Some manufacturers have made a name for themselves by creating quiet fans. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/noctua.at\/en\/products\/fan\">Noctua<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bequiet.com\/en\/casefans\">be quiet!<\/a> are two such examples, but other companies create models that are designed to be as quiet as possible including Corsair (who create <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.corsair.com\/ww\/en\/Categories\/Products\/Fans\/AIR-SERIES-LED-CONFIG\/p\/CO-9050006-WW\">Quiet Edition<\/a> fans), Cooler Master (particularly the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coolermaster.com\/catalog\/coolers\/case-fan\/silencio-fp-120-3pin\/\">Silencio<\/a>), and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.arctic.de\/us\/products\/cooling\/case-fans\/\">Arctic<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Replace_Noisy_CPU_Coolers\"><\/span>Replace Noisy CPU Coolers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Stock CPU coolers can be noisy and inadequate, sometimes both.

Investing in a quality cooler for your CPU can fix both of these issues, all for under $100 (sometimes much less).<\/p>\n<p>Air coolers don\u2019t have to be loud, even though they use fast-moving fans to dissipate heat. Switching your stock CPU cooler for something a little more premium like the Noctua NH-U12S or the be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4\u00a0should reduce in better cooling and less noise.
