Everything is working now! I kept looking for server fans and eventually found These Fans and got 3 of them and now everything is running even cooler than before and it is no louder than a refrigerator.

It's a really weird set up, it has a big board right in front for the drives to connect to, there is a small opening at the bottom of that but not very big, the cover has 0 fans, the back end gets overheated easily for some reason, something on the bottom putting out heat. Cooling on this thing seems to be an afterthought and the designer just decided to throw in 3 15,000 rpm 80mm fans in it and let it go full blast I can't seem to find ANY proper information on these fans for some reason, they are It has 4 wires but connects into the secondary board on the bottom not the main motherboard so the BIOs doesn't see it and I don't know if there is a way to change the fan speed so it's not full blast at 60-80dB

Yeah I got those replaced and it definitely worked, I figures out how to keep the drives cool on the front but not to sure how to do it for the back

Sorry I forgot I had posted here. It's an isilion server I got from eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/Supermicro-36-bay-4U-Server-Storage-x8dt6-a-is018-2x-E5603-Ethernet-Freenas/323912277622?pageci=c6e6fca3-8b7a-4efc-9c0d-948f0bddb636 I did change the internal fans but now I am having a problem with the HDD getting too hot. The fans that came with it look like regular molex fans with a square plug instead of a rectangle. I went with this one for future-proofing, 36 bays meant I wouldn't have to get another server just for storage as I don't need another one just increase the had capacity but I don't know how to get just a rack for HDD and to get the main one to recognize them.

So I was looking for a good NAS/SAS/Home server for general storage and the regular, I looked at guides and eBay and found a whole system with 36 bays and only needing Ram so I jumped on it, got the ram and everything and when I fired it up I nearly went deaf from the sound of the fans and that's when I found out I bought a full blown server. My question is can I build a room or container in my basement to deaden the sound without causing it to overheat? My basement never get's hot even in the summer but I would prefer to not go deaf by just going into my basement to do other things.
