Hi there, sorry for taking so long to reply to this. I thought I had resolved the issue actually and sort of forgot about my post here, so I'll try to update it a little bit in case others run into this issue in the future. Since my last post I updated my computer from Windows 10 to 11, and...

Sorry if I should post this in networking but I figured I'd ask here first. So I've been having an issue for about a year or possibly less when it comes to playing multiplayer servers on Garry's Mod. As far as I can tell no other game has this issue, but when I join a server in Gmod my network's...

Alright, thank you for the reply. I'll try the cable just in case but I also have a DAC coming as well now. The thing I'm confused about really is how this would just suddenly happen now. If it was a grounding issue, wouldn't that have been presenting itself since I built the computer? Also I'm...

Hi everyone, So I recently had to reinstall Windows 10 home after having an issue with an aging SSD and faulty RAM. It's been fine for a couple weeks now, but I did notice that under certain conditions, particularly gaming, I notice a really quiet popping sound. Another person posted a video of...

Oh alright, just checking because I posted on it in the past on the Linus forums and someone claimed to not hear any noise out of the ordinary. I was considering just getting rid of the entire CPU cooler and getting one that has a metal mount like this, but I think it might be overkill.

Yeah, I wasn’t too sure what it was exactly. If you listen closely to the recording there’s still a rattle present even when I stop the fan with my finger. That’s the old exhaust fan that came with the case which came with the case. It was pretty flimsy and kind of crappy. You can hear that sort...

Oh sorry about that lol. To answer your question, it’s just the one stock fan on the cooler that I showed in the recording. I’m not using any other fans on it.

So a little update to this all: As several have suggested and Noctua support mentioned too, I removed the top exhaust fan out of the case and listened to it operate in my hand from different angles. It sound okay outside the case I think, and in the process I may have found the issue. I have a...

That’s a good point about the cutouts. Right now I have the 3 120mm intakes, so there’s no restricted airflow. Since the very bottom one kind of blows into the open end of the PSU shroud, do you think it even makes a difference for temperature? I mean there’s no ventilation or cutouts and it...

The case is marketed to handle 2 140mm fans, it’s just that weird position thing. I mean despite that do you think it’s worth giving them a shot, or should I just try again with different 120mm fans?

Yeah, that’s what I was afraid of. I read a tiny bit into the static pressure of fans having something to do with the pitch of the noise they put out, so I was considering getting another pair like these. That being said, I have a feeling I might just be sensitive to noctua’s SSO bearings or...

I'm not understanding what a case has to do with my question?

Hey everyone, So recently I swapped out all of the cooling fans inside of my PC since I'm going to be getting the RTX 3070 soon. I ended up getting 5 of the 120mm Noctua NF-P12 reduxes (3 intakes, rear exhaust, top-rear exhaust) and they work fairly well, however their operating noise is quite...

Okay, I ended up buying 5 of those and a 3-way splitter for the intakes. Hopefully those will help remedy the noise. I'm going to contact CoolerMaster and see if they can't provide me a new fan for the cooler. Worst case I'll get a noctua one with high static pressure to replace it. I...

So since the price is fairly similar to the noctua ones, would a set like these work well? Assuming airflow wouldn’t be hindered, I’d just get 5 of these (3 intakes, one rear exhaust, one on the top farthest back as another exhaust).
