NOBODY LIKES A LOUD PC
We know that to build a great, quiet machine you have to plan ahead. That means selecting the right parts and configuring them for silence. So whether you’re building a new system or if you’d just like to make your existing PC a bit less loud, here are a few tips and tricks that might help you out.
IF A CASE ISOLATES THE NOISY PARTS,

CASES
The right case can tame even the loudest PCs. You’ll want a design that can muffle sound but still provide ample cooling so that your internal components won’t overheat and your fans don’t run overtime. Here are some key features to look for when choosing a quieter case.

BAFFLED AIR
VENTILATION
Holes in your case are great for airflow and terrible for noise. Use a case with solid panels and ducted intake and exhausts, especially in the front and on the top, to divert sound away from your ears.
