I have some problems with my pc being very loud. I have built almost 10 PCs for friends and family and never had any problems. This is the most expensive build, yet it creates the most sound. The temperature its displaying is just when the pc is turned on and nothing is open. I can hear the pc loud and clearly even when i just watch youtube with my headset on. I drew arrows to show the direction of the fans. Please help.

Lower the fan speed?

You should also have the front fans and side fans as intake.

Radiator on top and the fan on the rear as exhaust.

Have you tried changing fan speeds? Is the RPM read out correctly by the motherboard?

If you've built over 10 PC's, you know about the BIOS, right? There should be fan control there. Check the motherboard manual on where you can find it, this is different for each manufacturer

do you have any reccomandations for what i should set the fan speed to?

800rpm until things get hot (70C), then up to 1200/1500 (for 120mm fans), more if you have a Burning Furnace Intel skew 😛

What's the cooler and fans brand ? Aren't they LianLi with their dedicated control software ?

I always set the case fans as fast as I can WITHOUT them being audible. 

You can adjust the speed of the AIO pump to increase cooling and to be able to lower the fan speed as well.

i cant control them all, i think you need a commander core xt which i dont have. The few fans i can control are already set to quiet so i dont understand why it is making so much noise.

When i listen closer i think it may be the AIO pump that is making the majority of the noise

 

It shouldn't be that loud and it's not the same sound than a fan

I run mine at 99% constant speed and it's very quiet (Arctic LF3), can't even really hear it if the fans are off

As others have said, it seems you just need to tune the fan curves in iCue. This is something that needs to be done on all builds as default fan curves are very generic and often highly aggressive.

Again, if Corsair, controlled in iCue.

 

Looking, looks like NZXT so CAM.

I'd recommend Fan Control

i watched a tutorial for how to use it. I seems like the fans are not changing when i changed the speeds in the fan control software. I experienced the same thing when i changed the speeds in the iCUE software as well. All my fans are spinnig but it seems they dont get reconized and i cant control them

ICUE won't work for fans not connected to the Corsair hub.

@sebastianwaaler

You have the fans fighting each other. Top in, side out, front in. Some of the air from the front is going out of the side, and you're pulling air in through the rad, blowing the leftover heat from the CPU back at the CPU. You should really change all that.

 

If Fan Control can't take control, then your mobo software may be interfering. What mobo software are you using? Swap the side piece of the PSU shroud for the one that allows for more space in front, or don't use either, and front (intake) or side mount (exhaust) the AIO, preferably with tubes sideways on the block and down on the rad. The rest of the fans should be optimized for a good balance but with more going on than out. Remember that fans going through a rad lose a lot of power! Are those the default SP120s? Get better fans.

i have icue

Kris meant physically,  and you already admitted iCUE isn't driving all your fans because you don't have the Commander Pro, so this is not correct. How many fan headers do you have, not including the case's repeater? That looks like the 5000X.

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.

My phone's auto-correct is named Otto Rong.🤪😂

Yes that is the 5000x case. All the fans in the case are from the QL series. I have an nzxt n7 z590 motherboard. Not sure if i have a specific software for the motherboard apart from the nzxt cam software. I just checked i have a commander pro which 5 of the fans are connected to. The rest of them are connected to a fan header which came installed in the back of the case. Im sorry for the troubles but i didnt quite understand how you wanted me to change the fans. Should  i rotate the AIO pump 90 degrees, is that what u mean?

Is the commander pro hooked up to an internal USB header on the motherboard? If it's not, it won't show up. image.png.209c534c980590027f1e79a6289449cc.png

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

it is, i can see it in the icue software. i just thought it was a lighting node first. I set the fan speeds of the fans connected to 600rpm but the pc is still just as loud.
