Does anyone know how to get you PC to make less noise, those damn fans have finally gotten to me.
Are there any programs to reduce the performance of a PC but the noise at the same time, cos most of the time I'm just typing up stuff not playing games.

Water cooling is an expensive option, or you could get new fans that are better quality. Though most of the noise isn't the fan, but the grill/hole the air is being sucked through or blown out of.
try

If your into your electronics then you could make a fanbus to reduce fan speeds, but watch out that the computer doesn't get too hot.
Personally I just live with my noisy PC and turn the music up louder!!

An alternative is a simple software application that decreases the velocity of your fans. I tried it not so long ago with an old 2-86 pc just to see if it worked, and it did like a charm. Though I would not recommend it. Modern CPUs creates alot of heat and the possible consequenses of reducing the rotaion speed should be obvious.

Some newer computers will let you set the fan speed in BIOS- try checking there.

if you want a quiet PC check bulletin boards on Audio PC's as they have a number of resources to find accessories that make your PC quiter due to it interfering with the sound.
