Hi i'm wondering how to silence my PC more because it is quite loud
here is my build

other than upgrading the exhaust fan (which is just a red led one that came withe case) i don't know what else to edit and i rather not change the case because i love it ... and i don't have the money to change a GPU or PSU or anything
any suggestions ?
thank you !

There many parts in your computer that produce noise. They include fans (case, cpu, psu, and gpu), mechanical hard drives, and optical drives. Fans are of the most concern. So you can either use low noise fan adapters or upgrade your fans to noctua. You can also buy a case with padding on the inside. I guess you can also install your own makeshift sound dampener in your case, I wouldn't know the effectiveness of that.

If your computer is loud, the #1 way to reduce noise is to get a decent noise suppression case. I highly recommend the Fractal Design Define R series
