[owca6666]

Hi im new to the forums, and im looking for some advice:

Here are my pc specs :

Intel Core i5 2500k 4.5GHz + Asus Axe Square
Asus P8Z68-V Pro
2x GTX570 + 2x Gelid Icy Vision Rev.2
4x 4GB Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz 9-9-9-24-2
OCZ ZS 750W
Hitachi 2TB Sata 3 6GB/s
Antec 1200 V.2(Twelve Hundred)

First of all my pc is very loud what can i do to reduce it.

3rd question is my PSU good enough for this setup ?

And at last is 3dmark11 Extreme preset score of : X1863 good ?

Well, the chances are that the noise is coming from fans. If you want to reduce the noise from the fans you will either need to replace them or slow them down with a fan controller or software.

You will need to figure out for yourself which fans are the source of the noise. It could be your case fans, your heat sink fan, your gpu fan, etc. I haven't looked at the 1200 for a while, but if Antec is still using those tri-cool fans that have a built in controller trying slowing down the case fans all the way and then see what else is making noise.

Is your system controlling the speed of the cpu fan or does it run at a constant speed? In other words, 4 pin or 3 pin connector.

There are many options for monitoring GPU fan speed and controlling it. GPU fans can be a major source of noise especially when the GPU is under load.

Case fans are loud and also i cant control the graphics card fan speed i have them connected to the motherboard but speedfan just doesnt do anything when i try to slow it down.

and i think my PSU + that bottom graphic card too close to each other may cause the problem but i cant use middle slot for SLI because those Gelid radiators are too big LOL

The Antec gaming cases are not known for being quiet. If you want more noise reduction you could try the Antec P series, such as a P183. Though they are smaller than the 1200, you should still be able to fit 2 GTX570s in them.

Also, looking at the picture your PSU fan is pointing into your case. Is there no exhaust gate on the bottom of the case for the PSU? Typically with PSUs that have that 120mm fan, you want to get a case that has a bottom exhaust port and point the fan downwards to exhaust out of the case.

If you are worried about power and cooling, try going with this PSU, it has a rear exhaust fan that fits well with your case, its made by PC Power and Cooling which has always released exceptional PSUs, and it has more power on a single 12V rail:

First, your photo is not loading for me, so I can't really address the psu gpu proximity issue.

Second, if you aren't able to control the gpu fans via software then you probably want to get a fan controller.

Third, like I said, check the case fans and see if they are antec's tri-cool fans that have a switch to adjust fan speed.

and my fans are the tri cool ones and i already have them set on minimum RPM

i bought this computer few days ago dont want to change case so quick

maybe i should replace fans for something better ?

and i need to solve the graphic cards problem i cant watch the bottom one almost touching the PSU

OR i have third option i could use some good watercooling setup but im complete noob in this. IF anyone is able to give me list of parts i need to buy for this setup ill buy him a beer

I dont care about the price i would want the best setup i can get.

sorry for my shit english

You could try this one:

Here is some more information on case silencing: http://www.quietpcusa.com/how-to-silence-a-computer.aspx

You don't have to switch cases if you get a PSU with a rear fan as that should take care of some of the heating concerns. Before you go watercooling, I would suggest trying that. If you want to try to eliminate more noise from your Antec case, you could try using rubber grommets for the fan screws or vibration dampeners:

You could also get some acoustic lining for the case:

Or a kit:

If you want to get into watercooling, I can certainly help you, you can PM me and I can walk you through how to build a Watercooling setup for that Rig. Be warned though, watercooling is pretty expensive when you start talking about cooling your GPU cards as well as your CPU. I have designed quite a few setups for friends as well as done my own watercooling setups. I love watercooling, but its not cheap.

Oh yes thats the PSU i wanted

I decided i will go for watercooling when u said u can help

I want to thank everyone for helping me out ill pm NoOther to get that WC going on
