My first build, advice on minimizing noise
Posted: Sun Jun 15, 2014 11:56 am
This is my first customer built computer. Trying to see if there is anything I can do for similar price and performance that would reduce noise. Expect some noise just trying to minimize it. Probably should pick a different PSU but couldn't find any noise comparisons overall that were recent. Also what accessories should I pick up to minimize noise? (mounting equ or other items). Already have a monitor I am going to use.
