O.P. My computer is making too much noise.
I'm not sure if its the fan or what, but I am looking for a program/download that can probably make whatever the noise is quieter. The noise sometimes quiets down when I don't run so many programs...
I know you guys will tell me to go get a fan or read one of those guides on the internet about how to make your pc quieter, but I was wondering if there is any simple method... I could probably clear out dust but if there was a program that could control the noise that would be like great.

RE: My computer is making too much noise.
Try clearing out the dust, there's probably loads of it stuffing your heatsinks, adding up the temperature (aka, forcing the fans to make an extra effort)

Try having some wire management inside your computer. Less dangling wires in front of the fan (moving wires to the side of the case) could improve air flow within the case. If it really bothers you, try removing the case.

RE: My computer is making too much noise.
it's probably just dust, get some canned air and blow it out....

RE: My computer is making too much noise.
there probualy isn't a program to do that, since the noise would be from the fans, and the only think a program could do is reduce the RPM of the fan, which could make your computer over heat,
the things people mentione above should help reduce the noise

RE: My computer is making too much noise.
Take your whole computer apart and go to your garage with a blow dryer or a fan(anything that blows) and blow off the dust which is on it, piece by piece .

a can of compressed air is better for getting in to the heat sink and other tiny places |

RE: My computer is making too much noise.
Well I can get it from Dicksmiths in Australia or a compressor so I'm guessing you could get it from an electrical shop.

RE: My computer is making too much noise.
Just saw this on slashdot. I honestly don't know if Intel's desktop processors include frequency throttling or if many chipsets allow you to change the fan speed [it can sometimes be done in real time via a hardware register], I'd guess not, but it might be worth a try.

was put impeccably into words at DebianDay for me last Saturday, by Knut Yrvin of Trolltech - adults try something once, fail, and then are like "ffs this doesn't work". Children try, fail, and then try again, and succeed - maybe on the second, or even fifth retry. But the thing is that they keep at it and overcome the problems in the end.
