Ty to all. Pretty much the same main action idea I got on the other thread-- get a better psu to solve the noise problem.

I just asked a question concerning my custom built desktop (msi a55m-p33 mobo, m-atx form factor in mid tower case): <a href="https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28413327/Is-it-acceptable-to-build-a-desktop-pc-without-a-case-fan.html" rel="ugc">https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28413327/Is-it-acceptable-to-build-a-desktop-pc-without-a-case-fan.html</a><br />
<br />
It has no case fan, only a cpu and of course psu fan. The pc is brand new. The psu fan seems to be making all the noise-- a high airflow kind of noise, not a bad bearing kind of noise. As they said in the first question, it is probably overworked.<br />
<br />
So now my question is that I install a nice quiet case fan, would it cut down on the total noise by virtue of slowing the psu fan down, or should I first just get a quieter psu, as they also suggested there?

Can I cut down on total noise by adding a case fan to a desktop that has none?

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.
