Hi There,
I have upgraded my pc case from a NZXT Tempest to a Fractal Design R4 in the hope of reducing some of the sound coming from my system, tonight was the night I moved all the components from my old case into my new case. However, all was not quiet as expected because the fan on my psu is now really rather loud under load, as loud as the stock cooler I used to have on my GTX 480 when running furmark. This can not do!!! I'm not sure whether the fact the new case requires the power supply to be fitted upside down compared with the old case has anything to do with it or not, or perhaps the power supply is on it's way out?
Any recommendations on a new psu that's very quiet or perhaps some ideas on how to resolve the problem?
My System:
Case: Fractal Design R4
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5
CPU + Cooler: Core i7 920 + Thermaltake Frio
GPU: Asus GTX 480 1.5GB with Gelid Icy Vision Cooler
PSU: Coolmaster iGreen Power 600W (Product No. RS-600-ASAA)
