Re: Should I get a new case or silent vga cooler?

The pc is just left on idle and I do not do anything to the case, the pc is beside my desk with nothing around it or anything like that. How about shutting down the PC while sleeping? This. A system that is switched off is MUCH quieter. Plus with the money you'll save on electricity you will then b...

Re: Should I get a new case or silent vga cooler?

I don't believe another case or sound isolating foam would dampen the noise level enough.... It seems to me, and the reviewer, that quieting a noisy setup can only be achieved by replacing the components or their coolers. So I would recommend buying an aftermarket cooler for your GPU. Agreed Well i...

Re: Should I get a new case or silent vga cooler?

Nvflash doesn't seem to work with Windows 7 64 bit. I see it is used as a bootable, will it work then? Mazchazo, for me it works like a charm and I use Windows 7 64 bit: maybe you're looking to some guide which is a bit outdated. You do not need to create any bootable media providing you are using ...

Re: Should I get a new case or silent vga cooler?

The pc is just left on idle If it's just left on idle, then you can simply sleep (S3) it, can't you? Otherwise, try to flash the BIOS for a lower idle fan speed: in the worst case, you will stop the fan. In the second worst scenario, it wouldn't happen anything. Just re-flash the original BIOS (so ...

Do you fold (or do something in background) with it?

Re: Should I get a new case or silent vga cooler?

The fan can reach 30% speed. It still runs at 1450 rpm. I don't think flashing the bios is a good idea because if I go lower than that, the gpu temp might not be stable at 20-25%. My HAF 922 case is a very open air case with holes and mesh everywhere. The reason I said changing the case might be a g...

Should I get a new case or silent vga cooler?

My 560 Ti runs at 1440 rpm at idle and is at the lowest speed and it is too loud for me to sleep with it on. I contacted EVGA and told me that is the lowest it will go. In order to go silent I need some options. I was thinking to use sound-absorbing foam, but idk if it will do the job. My case is th...
