extra cooling fan advice (UK)

[trappeduser]

Okay, I have the side cover off and got a big household
fan blowing away right now.

I would like to buy a new fan(s) for my PC, I've seen
many on various sites but I need input.

That isn't the best solution

o Start with the noisiest component first
---- usually the CPU fan
o Then move onto the next noisiest
---- usually the PSU

Put soundproofing bottom on things to do; much
easier to treat the cause than the effect of a noisy PC.

o Then if you have a fan-port by the CPU cooler on the case
---- fill it with a fan

That will remove hot air from the CPU cooler preventing recirculation,
so allowing a lower rpm fan on the CPU cooler for the same temperature.
