I should have done this long ago, but was afraid of bricking my card, luckily my power didn't go out in the 5 second process.
I had to have audio playing at all times from a Twitch stream or something when using my PC or I was annoyed by the slight sound.
This gave me some stress relief, I'm not listening to anything right now and my PC isn't bothering me lol
Now if I could just find a way to make my Noctua NF-A14's not make the case hum at specifically 800rpm and 1075rpm everything would be perfect, but I can't, other than never letting them go above 800rpm...
I have my front two NF-A14's suspended in the air with wire that goes through holes on the metal part of my Arc Midi R2. They're supposed to be mounted to the plastic front panel, but the plastic amplified noise so much. The exhaust NF-A14 mounted to the metal is a million times quieter than the front fans were when attached to the garbage plastic...
I never hear my PSU fan, my CPU fan also makes a very slight hum at 800rpm and 1075rpm (same fan as the NF-A14), and I have my HDD suspended with elastic because it caused the case to vibrate violently.
I think my long term quest for absolute perfection of my PC might finally be complete, I can't think of anything I could fix that pisses me off anymore.
I even found out how to control my case fans based off of GPU temperature which was harder to figure out than expected, I just thought it was impossible until I discovered it was possible with SpeedFan.
Just some little problems left, like GPU Boost which sucks, but I can just click K-Boost before playing a game, not a perfect solution because I have to do that every time but it works.
I'm that person that makes people say PC's are too complicated, because everything can be improved and nothing is perfect or even necessarily good at first. With a console or a Mac you just have to live with what bothers you, with a PC if you're like me, you get to spend longer than you should screwing with everything trying to make it better because you can....
Thanks for the guide! Screw you Gigabyte for not allowing the fans to go lower than 50% without a BIOS flash, come on...
