I recently moved to Japan and for the first time in a long time, I decided to build myself a pc again. Bought the cheapest case I could find and added everything inside.
Case: Versa H17 from Thermaltake
CPU: ryzen 2600
GPU: rx 550
Motherboard : b450m s2h gigabyte m-atx
16 gigs of high profile ram
and an ssd and hdd (I am planning on maybe upgrading the hdd)
My problem is the sound of the graphics card ... It is noisy at idle. I measured the holes and found that it's a perfect square of 4,5cm x 4.5cm so I was thinking: "Maybe I could just put a cpu cooler on it " but looking at the different kinds of sockets, I couldn't find any that would fit So I could mount it with zipties .... OR.....
The second idea is to build a case myself which allows for better airflow so I wouldn't have to possibly kill my graphics card
Also, mounting extra fans to the panels of my case causes a lot of noise from the airflow passing by the fan grill, any way to solve that? Else I could maybe just add more fans to improve airflow in my current case
I just want my pc to be quiet, so or I find a sollution for the gpu cooling, or I could try to make myself a case which allows for better and more airflow which I could also make more sound resisting, or I make my current case more quiet (how?), ....
Does anybody have any ideas? Because of Corona I have to stay inside so this is really not good for me as I keep wanting to do something with my noise pc ^^"
