How To Make Your Pc Silent? - Best Products for a Quiet Computer

Thelaw
This is an interesting question. I have no clue on how to do this, since mostly everything in your pc makes noise. and really computer tables with a cabinet door stop it lol. But hardware wise, you would probably need a soundless fan, and a cooler that is silent. Newegg might have it, I haven't check since i am not really interested in going to gte parts for my pc becuase it barely makes noise lol. But very interesting topic, sorry i cant help much!

I once read an article in a PC magazine where they demonstrated that you can actually submerge your PC into a glass tank full of olive oil! The olive oil doesn't conduct electricity, helps with heat distribution as well as cutting out a significant amount of noise. Don't perform this experiment and blame me!

Yes, good question!

More fan you used in your PC, the more noise you will hear.

After understand this, I just reduce my PC's configuration.

I changed video card with a no fan one. Changed CPU to INTEL which one not generate more heat, so that I can use a small CPU fan more silent.

The bigest noise maker is the power, So, to choose a silent power is importent.

After doing that, my PC is now quite silent.

i have 2 different pc's and none of them makes noise! one from them is a p3 with 4 cooling fans (lol i know thats a but too much for a p3) and yet its silent enough. sometimes the casing fan makes a bit noise when it increases its rpm but its for around 1-2 minutes and its silent again. all my fans are normal fans and they dont have any brands! and i use my p4 keeping the casing open and still it doesnt make that much noise!
